"The 42 walks of Contención Island

"From the start of the UK’s lockdown, every day I walked from my house, 
for 20 minutes in any and all directions; I mapped my route and recorded 
my walking. My walking had made Contención Island (contención is 
containment in Esperanto - an international name for an international 
pandemic) - and the walking became exploration of my island. I walk 
until easing begins - 42 days. You hear sequential sections of the daily 
recordings that move - along the route of the daily walks - across the 
six weeks - along with lines from daily poems.

"in the covid-19 pandemic         containment slows spread locked down 
for six weeks         take one period of exercise a day forty-five 
minutes of walking     walk in any and every direction walking while 
contained     walk on Contención Island         walking maps a 
fantastical island     listen to the walks         listen to six weeks 
listen to forty-two days     listen to lockdown     walk in your 
imagination         the isle is full of noises     sounds and sweet airs 
     sounds drift     sounds carry     sounds flow     rivers of sound 
flow     one river runs its course     across the southern grasslands to 
tumble into south haven     Contención’s distant thunder another joins 
it, in from the north     spating, roaring, seething along     a lost 
river crosses the island     to flow out by skerries in the south east 
  a lowland vale links south and north haven    at the mouth of north 
haven     church point, remote and peaceful       the north west 
peninsula is quiet     in the north west is convent shield     a refuge, 
where birds sing above the bench    walk a conjured coastline       by 
Oswald’s Bay - too exposed to offer safe mooring     by rocky bays 
between Saint Nicholas’ point and the Cow Head cliffs     back along the 
long dunes of the south     return, reverse, retrace     walk pace step 
stride     another day     walking on Contención Island

"The full versions of the walks are all available at 
https://martinpeccles.com/other-sound-works/the-42-walks-of-contencion-island/ 
  along with the daily poem (a mesostic) and the emerging map of the island.

"Stay safe and well in these strange times."
-martin p. eccles, 2020.06
