The Dominion of Din

The Dominion of Din is a radio play made out of recordings from a single 
fixed perspective over an eighteen-year period. It is created entirely 
from field recordings made out of the rear window of my flat in the West 
End of Glasgow. In essence, it is a catalogue of exterior sounds that 
have annoyed, disturbed or angered me over the years living at this 
residence – and sounds that have largely disappeared during lockdown.

My go-to method of dealing with nuisance noise is to record it. A sort 
of recording banishing ritual. The hope being that one day I would be 
able to utilise these sounds in some way, converting these sources of 
irritation into something positive.

The piece includes now familiar soundmarks such as the daily delivery of 
beer barrels to the local pub, the shattering of glass bottles as they 
are emptied into recycle bins at night and the weekly maintenance of 
neighbours gardens that always seems to require extensive use of a leaf 
blower no matter what the season. More irregular sources of nuisance 
noise appear in the form of workmen erecting scaffolding, magpies 
nesting on the side of the house, drunken outdoor singalongs, 
overflowing guttering and a faulty burglar alarm that didn’t stop for 
three days solid over one memorably torturous bank holiday weekend. The 
irony is that on the only occasion that these sounds have ceased for any 
length of time I’ve spent several weeks doing nothing but listen to them 
over and over again whilst composing this piece.

The pub has made use of this time to create a beer garden at the back of 
our flat now so at least I will have fresh impingements on my peace to 
look forward to as things begin to return to normal.

Originally created for the Amplify 2020: Quarantine Festival.
Source sounds recorded in Glasgow between 2002 and 2020.
Composed between May and June 2020.
