Baby:
Abigail Morwenna Jackson.
Born: 19th December 1960 at three in the afternoon in St Mary’s Hospital. (Baby Crying)
Weight: 7 lbs 12 oz (Sucking on a bottle)
Mother: Jenny Jackson, Bank cleric (mother cooing)
Father: John Jackson, Welder at John Brown’s Shipyard on the
river Clyde. (bangs and crashes)
Childhood:
My school by Abby Jackson aged 9
My school is a big school. It is tall and old. (School bell)There are two
doors because in Victorian times boys and girls had to go in separately. (times tables recited) My
favourite class is English, we write lots of stories, I like to write about horses.
My favourite part of the day is lunchtime, (cutlery scraping on plates) we get to play in the playground,(playground rhymes) and
I like the skipping ropes. My favourite food to have is the chocolate sponge
with custard it is yummy, but the dinner lady is scary. I don’t like the vegetable
we have they are all mushy.
Teenage:
Dear Diary, (scratching of a pen)
He looked at me today. His eyes are so blue and his hair, oh
my god his hair. Any way we were in Maths and he didn’t have a pen, and I
offered him one.(Clicking of a pen) He looked me right in the eyes and smiled!(giggling) Then he touched my
hand! But jeez I was so embarrassed, at break, Caitlin decided to shout across
the canteen that I fancied him, (shouting, 'oi my mate facies you) I could’ve died like seriously she’s a bitch. I
wish the ground had swallowed me up, he even looked over and all his mates
started giggling, (whispers and giggling) like seriously my life is over!

analysis/Inspiration
After listening once again to many of the folk records I grew up on, I can hear many element in them that create a sense of space.
Here is an example of one I found particularly effective, "'Ouses, 'Ouses. 'Ouses" by the imagined village.
The way in which the song is composed is very interesting in terms of a sense of space. The beginning is very quiet, the accent and the words of the narrator giving it context. We know where and when the story is coming from. The fact that it is at the beginning a single voice and quite quite gives the connotations of peace, which then translates to the picture of the ares that the song is painting. We are hearing about a time long ago, devoid of the modern noises, vast open spaces of natural beauty and peace, this is anchored by the very faint and calm strings.
As we get more and more into the story, and it gets further int the future, the music gets louder and louder which denoting the movement from old to new, as the land becomes more industrialised and busier in terms of people and noise. The fact however that the music is still acoustic and pure at this point, show that it was still a peaceful empty place of farm. This then creates the sense of being in the country side sparingly touched by human hands, only where necessary.
This however changes in the next part of the song. Where there is an introduction of more modern and industrial music and sounds. The use of music is very interesting, we have gone from the organic strings and pure voices to a heavier beat driven piece. This more electronic and processed sound reflects the words. The sense of how this place has changed and indeed how it has changed. It has gone from an empty, beautiful land into an industrialised, busy town. This is reflected both in the crescendo of the song and the more modern music used. There is a sense of how the area had been disturbed by this. This is further enforced by the use of sound effects such as a police siren, shouting and helicopter blades. There is now a very different sense of space from the beginning of the song. The composition here paint a busy, dangerous place full of people and noise. It also hints at what the area is like, it in probably troubled due to the sound of sirens and helicopter blades, that linking into the siren could be seen as a police helicopter.
So then, in terms of a sense of space, The Imagined Village's "'Ouses, 'Ouses, 'Ouses" paints an effective portrait of one spaces change through the years.
