Noah Angell's Lecture-Performance at ArtReview Bar Explores Railway Folklore

On 14 September 2016, Noah Angell delivered a lecture-performance at ArtReview's bar in London, delving into the folklore of railway songs through a mix of poetry, storytelling, ethnographic recordings, and music. Hailing from North Carolina, Angell crafts immersive listening experiences that originated from his habit of listening to records during breaks while editing videos. He gathers recordings from various sources, including charity shops and online platforms. Currently, he is partnering with Francis Gooding on the oral history initiative Ghost Stories of the British Museum, set to debut at Rib in Rotterdam later this year. Additionally, they are collaborating on Lux Imperium, a film featuring home movies from British colonies, with screenings planned for November. Angell is also working on That Celestial Shore for CCA-Derry-Londonderry, which investigates Irish musical traditions in North Carolina.
