<p>Richard Skelton is an artist from northern England. Since 2005 he has produced a series of musical recordings and books that engage with the hidden histories and ecologies of specific landscapes. <em>Landings</em> is a collection of texts for the West Pennine Moors of Lancashire, UK, drawn from various sources, including historical treatises, maps, parish records, census data and the artist&rsquo;s own diaries, notebooks and essays. The book obliquely documents his use of music, writing and photography as means of &lsquo;colluding&rsquo; with the various agencies of the land: the seen and the unseen, the heard and the unheard, the &lsquo;real&rsquo; and the imaginary, the living and the dead. Originally published in 2009 as a modest 96-page book, <em>Landings</em> has grown over the ensuing years as it attempts to record, transcribe and archive the voices of the here and now, the lost and forgotten.</p>
