Zener_42 by Bloxham Research Group

BLOXHAM RESEARCH GROUP (BRG) is a psychogeographic & hauntological research support group by subscription. An unincorporated association, the BRG does not publish membership details or accounts.

Presenting Zener_42, field recordings compiled by the BRG during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020-21 while documenting the minor triangulation of churches around the village of Middleton Cheney on the Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire border.

Acts of sonic tresspass allow the BRG to record unexamined affinities in the memories and histories of this rural landscape where access and ownership has been persistently concentrated into the possession of a minority.

These field recordings are accompanied by 'MINOR TRIANGULATION' – a record of psychogeographical field notes from the BRG archive – available as an A5 16pp booklet with cassette purchase and a PDF download with digital purchase.
