Love and Life on Lincoln Road
What happens when you stop and tune in to Lincoln road, turn down the noise of the traffic and listen, really listen to the voices of the people passing through, stopping by or settling in from every corner of the world. Who are they, where have they come from and how did they end up there? This is a series of stories about life, love, survival and making a new home.

RESIDENT FREQUENCIES - RADIO LOCAL: STOKE ON TRENT
COMMISSIONED BY HUNT & DARTON
AUGUST 2018
A four part series giving voice to the people who live and work in the forgotten town of Fenton one of the six towns that make up Stoke-On-Trent.
Commissioned for Hunt & Darton's hyperlocal live radio performance: 24H Radio Local broadcast live on local community station 6 Towns Radio as part of the Stoke-On-Trent Big Feast Festival, alongside other artists and performers Shit Theatre and The Eggs Collective each assigned a different area of Stoke to explore.
Our take was inspired by local oral historian and radio producer Arthur Wood who recorded local voices on BBC Radio Stoke throughout the 70’s and 80’s. This Resident Frequencies series takes a look at Fenton today, new industry after the closure of the ‘pots’, the artistic heritage and many conversations with the proud people of Fenton as they go about their daily lives.

RESIDENT FREQUENCIES - 24 RADIO LOCAL: CAMBRIDGE
COMMISSIONED BY HUNT & DARTON
CAMBRIDGE JUNCTION/CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL
MAY 2017
A two part series giving voice to the neighbourhood around Cambridge Junction - Cambridge Leisure and played as part of Hunt & Darton's hyperlocal live radio performance: 24H Radio Local broadcast live on local community station Cambridge 105.
Cambridge City Council and Cambridge Junction wanted to better understand the community and neighbourhood in this newly regenerated area around the venue.
Through a collection of stories, experiences, commentary and history told by the people who live and work there, in their words.
Lucia Scazzocchio was 1 of 3 sound artists (alongside Anna Brownsted and Richard DeDomenici) commissioned to live in site for a week and create one hour of audio in episodes.
The result was an investigative exploration of how to find the heart of a community where on the surface it doesn't exist, one conversation led to another, the result was'Resident Frequencies'.
Each episode is interwoven with field recordings, taking the listener on an audio journey through the area, listening to residents and business owners along the way. Each episode explores two very distinct areas around Cambridge Leisure, although only 500 yards apart ‘The Marque Building’ and the intersection of Hills road and Cherry Hinton Road where it sits, are two very different worlds that rarely collide.
