Archive Trails
In January 2011, three bold stravaigers – Alasdair Roberts, Aileen Campbell, and Drew Wright – set forth upon a twelve-week commissioning residency in The School of Scottish Studies Archives at The University of Edinburgh.
This site tracks their progress as they listen to tapes, sift through photos, conduct their own fieldwork and begin to develop new performances from their findings.

Aileen Campbell
Aileen Campbell is a visual artist as well as an experienced chorister and member of the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra. Her practice centers on an investigation into the embodied properties of the human voice, through performative works and their documentation in video.
She’s interested in the mass “chorus” of voices represented within the Sound Archive, as well as the history of the collection and its physical presence in the building where it has been housed since 1951. As a photographer and film-maker, of course, she’ll also be spending a lot of time in the School’s vast Photographic Archive.
