“The most salient sound in the Christian community is the church bell. In a very real sense it defines the community, for the parish is an acoustic space, circumscribed by the range of the church bell.” – R. Murray Shafer’ A Month of Sundays’ is a multi-media installation in an English parish church dating back to the 13th century. Computer-controlled recordings of the church’s bells will play through bell-ringing patterns over an eight-channel sound system, along with recordings of the bells’ Sunday morning peals in various parts of the town and other field recordings and digitally-generated material. The material will be chosen randomly, making a repeating piece which is never the same twice. The piece also includes a set of eight large-scale eight-colour screen prints which play with some of the same ideas of order and permutation as bell ringers’ ‘methods’.
