From the second half of the 19th century until its demise in the 1980s, what grew into a large and complex technological means of production became a significant genre in Welsh landscape art. However, little attention has been paid to the unique and powerful acoustic character of the industry, other than the textual testimonies to such recorded by workers and visitors, that is. Until the development of electrical sound recording in the mid-1920s, and the increase in fidelity and capacity to record a wide frequency band, it was impossible to capture and preserve the actuality of the collieries\u2019 sonorities."}, {"text_idx": "#000015", "text": "In 1930, the British Movietone newsreel company recorded South Wales Colliers Go Down the Mine.

His research field is the sonic and visual culture of religion. In art history, his studies engage the visual imagery of the Bible in relation to sound, popular piety, supernaturalist traditions, and working-class culture. In art practice, his work explores visual, textual, and aural sources of the Bible, Judaeo-Christianity, theological and cultural ideas, and systemic processes. It is explored in The Pictorial Bible series of exhibitions and The Aural Bible series of CD releases. The Aural Bible series (released by the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales) deals with the Judaeo-Christian scriptures as the written, spoken, and heard word. It also explores the cultural articulations and adaptations of the Bible \u2013 through preaching, reading, and prayer -- within the Protestant tradition, especially. The works embark upon a critical, responsive, and interpretive intervention with aspects of religious sound culture.
