The Millbury March Estate, a multimedia performance by the Electricity Board. A live audiovisual work, exploring the rise and decline of post-war housing from the utopian glow of new estates to the static-filled echoes of their later years.

Millbury Marsh follows the story of a council estate set somewhere in the North of England. Initally humming with optimism: the sound of freshly wired homes, sodium lights flickering on, and the quiet promise of better living. The Marsh declines throughout the 80s and is demolished in the mid 90s, like so many others. An abandoned dream of modern living.

Performed live using instruments based on 1930s experimental designs, salvaged components and archival schematics. No DAW, no computers. Just current, interference patterns, dust and memory. Each tone hums with remembered optimism: the sound of freshly wired homes, sodium lights flickering on, and the quiet promise of a better future.

Millbury Marsh, recorded live at the Watershed Cinema, Bristol, is now available on Bandcamp.
