264 Garden rain at night (sleep safe)
40:49 | Episode: 268 | April 13th, 2025
Last summer when we were stuck at home, and when heavy rain was forecast between midnight and three, we decided it’d be nice to capture its sound. The idea is enchanting. Rain, falling, on a little suburban garden, verdant with plants and shrubs of various kinds, as they quietly and invisibly sleep through the night.
263 Wild open coastal reserve
01:04:00 | Episode: 267 | March 29th, 2025
Sat back, looking onto Rye Harbour nature reserve. There, to the ear, is the sea. From here it’s out of sight, somewhere below the long shingle ridge. From this point across the reserve, it could to the ear be an aural sunrise. A wall of natural energy, lighting up the horizon with clean, white, spatialised noise.
262 Night stream at West Quantoxhead (sheep sleep safe)
01:00:45 | Episode: 266 | March 24th, 2025
We found our way to record this remote location late at night, and in near total darkness. A sheltered dell, with a fresh running stream. Earlier in the day, when everything was bathed in bright grey light, we’d walked through this secluded place on our way down from West Quantoxhead, and decided it might be a perfect spot for the Lento box to make a long overnight recording.
261 Midnight in Rye
50:37 | Episode: 265 | March 17th, 2025
Twelve strikes the clock, of St Mary’s Church in Rye, East Sussex. Midnight. A sound that for anyone left awake, opens a new page. It’s a new day, captured by the Lento box perched high above the churchyard, one night in mid-February.
260 Early spring in the Derbyshire hills
51:03 | Episode: 264 | March 9th, 2025
What a long-form sound landscape recording of the Derbyshire hills reveals, is space, weather, and birds. A buzzard. Mistle thrush. Song thrush. Great tit. Geese. Wren. Robin. Jackdaw. Pheasant. Black cap. All present in their different ways. Buffeted by strong spring breezes under grey skies. Ahead, down the fields, mid-left of scene, the rushing river fills the valley with soft white noise. Its sound is quite subtle, yet so present. So wide. And so constant. Over the thirty five years we’ve known this place, through all weathers, and all seasons, it’s the river that’s never changed.
259 Night rain under a large tarpaulin (sleep safe)
40:17 | Episode: 263 | March 1st, 2025
Sometimes, when persistent rain is forecast overnight, we place the Lento box out in the back garden on a long battery to capture the sound. Falling rain is always enchanting, especially at night when the city is asleep.
258 Tidal breakers on Winchelsea beach (high definition spatial sound)
30:18 | Episode: 262 | February 22nd, 2025
It is almost high tide on Winchelsea Beach. Old timbers, buried in the shingle berm, point up into the hazy winter sky. You scrunch over the stones. Rest your hands on their sturdy weatherworn tops. And begin to take in the scene.
257 Dawn birds of The Kielder Forest
49:00 | Episode: 261 | February 15th, 2025
This spatial sound-scene of dawn birdsong was captured from deep within the Kielder Forest, a huge wilderness of fir trees in the far north east of England almost at the border with Scotland.
