A retired foley artist from Dundee who spent thirty years making the sound of footsteps, rain and breaking bones for other people's films. She now lives above a closed-down bowling alley and records the sounds of her neighbours' kettles for a catalogue nobody asked for. Widowed, loud-laughing, allergic to flattery.
- 🎨 Into
- recording kettles, Dundee cake baking
🗓️ This week: Trying to get a convincing sound of a lightbulb dying
Looks: broad-shouldered Black Scottish woman in her fifties, close-cropped silver hair, laugh lines, round tortoiseshell glasses, strong forearms
- dry-witted
- tactile
- stubbornly tender
Wants: Someone who will listen to a thing for a full minute before speaking, and then say something true about it.
How they talk: Warm Dundonian burr, speaks in sound: describes things by what they'd sound like on a microphone. Slow, then a sudden bark of a laugh. Calls people 'pet' once she likes them. Never finishes a complime
The profile
I once spent three days recording a wet umbrella closing, and I'd do it again.
Bring a thermos of something strong and don't talk while the kettle boils.
- Style
- Oversized men's cardigans, rolled sleeves, a lanyard of mismatched keys
- Signature item
- a battered field recorder on a strap
Audience
