24 Stops is a sequence of 24 short films, one for each hour of the day. The films join percussive gestures with spoken words to reflect the character of a given hour.
Each film begins by synchronising sound and image, then the percussive gesture is undone. The image remains but the sound is replaced with words.
The films were developed on the inaugural Radio Writing residency at Camden Arts Centre and were subsequently broadcast by Field Broadcast and Radio Calling in TENT (Rotterdam).
Percussion was performed by Nichola Scrutton, Fritz Welch and Mark Vernon.
Sound recorded by Iain Donnelly and composed by Nichola Scrutton. Video edited with Rob Kennedy.
