Common land is shared space. We are re-sharing Portland with the world both physically and virtually this summer, during the b-side festival in September 2021 by presenting work in progress, the experience of art and living that is Portland shaped. This episode is inspired by the unique quality of the sound experience on Portland (UK) and the space it occupies. Framed by tradition and terms specific to the land, these podcasts will be the conduit for this, an audio journey of sounds and voices merged from all aspects of the island. 

Going back to 855, a tithe was a 'contribution to a religious organisation or compulsory tax' (source: A World History of Tax Rebellions - David F. Burg). Of course, this resonates now and this podcast tries to begin the harvest for a tithe to Portland.
