This recording was made on 17 October 2014, by reading a text inside one of gaol cells at Central Greenough, Western Australia. The text is read out loud inside the cell and recorded, then played back. During playback, it is recorded again. This process was repeated five times, resulting in six loops of the recording, capturing the echoes of the cell and its resonant frequencies. This is technique used by the sound artist and composer Alvin Lucier, in his work "I am sitting in a room" from 1969. The gaol and many of the buildings at Greenough were built using convict labour, on land taken from the Aboriginal population, in 1858. Central Greenough has been abandoned and stands as a ghost town, an attraction for tourists. The text read out is an excerpt from a letter written to The Inquirer newspaper, in 1849, the year after the Greenough region was surveyed prior to settlement. This work was created by Elizabeth Pedler while in artist-in-residence at Central Greenough, 22/9/14 - 20/10/14.
