The Saltiare Arts Trail 2013 app is live! I’ve been working on this over the last few weeks, alongside the inevitable end-of-semester crunch, and I’m rather pleased with how things have turned out. The app was commissioned with funds from Saltaire Inspired and the Arts Council Grants for the Arts scheme, and is part of what I hope will be a two-year project for Tonality Systems Press. This year implemented a basic framework and suggests a workflow for future use of the app. Next year will, I hope, be more ambitious: collaborating with Saltaire residents and artists, along with composer Nigel Morgan, on a locative soundscape composition to accompany the festival.
Meanwhile, you can get the app for iPhone and Android via the Saltaire Arts Trail website.
There are some fantastic artists involved in the festival, which runs from the 25 to 27th of this month – my favourites being Nicola Taylor‘s folklore-influence photography, the paintings of artist and archaeometallurgist David Starley and the prints of Joy Godfrey and James Bywood (including his screenprint of one of my favourite haunts: Almscliffe Crag!)

Thanks Phil for all your work on the Saltaire Arts Trail app. It was a definite highlight of this years event.
Oh, and thanks also for the mention in your post of my Almscliffe Crag print.
Cheers

Hi James,
It was a pleasure – I hope the project can move forward next year into something that will further complement the festival (my current research revolves around locative media, sonic art and oral history – something for everyone!).
Almscliffe Crag is a very special place to me. You may be interested in taking a look at this project I did in 2010 – an e-book, music and app all about Almscliffe Crag, it’s history, folklore and phenomenology! http://almias.org.uk/
Best wishes,
Phil
