[english]

wandering through landscapes of memory. made accessible by the way of listening. built of sound.

in the first part of the show with a work carried out by france in the years 2012 and 2013. chuse fernandez shows us a sound walk through various parts of france, allowing the listener to discover acoustic spaces that are there, but often we cannot see:

"The soundscape is the forgotten part of the environment.
The image blurs and often detracts from the true essence of what surrounds us.
The sound allows us to discover the small details." [C.F]

afterwards we will look another time with mark vernon through a selection of postcards from the leichester tape recording club's archive:

"The past is often said to be a foreign country. This programme features audio postcards from some of the inhabitants. The Leicester Tape Recording Club was a club for tape recording enthusiasts active in the sixties and seventies. Like a latter day Mass Observation, amateur radio producers and documentary makers sometimes unintentionally captured the minutiae of a now surreal suburbia. A forgotten world of bri-nylon, briar pipes and tank-tops met an arcane society who spoke of tape-speeds and soldering irons. 'Imagination Unlimited' takes a nostalgic and humorous look at the club and its members. Ex-members memories wow and flutter like their disintegrating reel-to-reel recordings. This is a story not just of a club but a community, a community of hobbyists, amateurs and charming personalities who captured otherwise long extinct phenomena like 'The Golden Wonder Boy'' Memories are made of hiss…" [M.V.]
