277 Emptiness within Shelve Wood at night – part II (sleep safe)
01:02:07 | Episode: 282 | July 31st, 2025
This week we’re returning to Shelve Wood in Shropshire to witness another hour from the unaccompanied overnight capture we made in June. This section of time includes the effects of a strong weather front. It sweeps over the dense woodland, creating rich spatial waves of naturally occurring white, brown and grey noise.
276 First rain after drought (high definition spatial sound)
32:59 | Episode: 281 | July 22nd, 2025
It’s not often we record from the back garden. The spot is suburban. Grassy and full of tangled shrubs yes, and encircled by a sprawling wisteria too that visually at least gives a verdantly self contained feel. But foliage while beguiling the eye does not strain out the roads and street sounds of the city. Or the sky. Flight paved, plane lined, jet rumbled. No, quiet is never in abundance here.
275 Dawn in an apple tree – Derbyshire hills
44:07 | Episode: 280 | July 13th, 2025
A bright April day has dawned in Derbyshire earlier in the spring. The air is unusually still for this time of year and this upland location. At just under a thousand feet barely a breeze is ruffling the trees surrounding the mics. These are the same trees that can be heard so powerfully in episode 250 – Moorland trees in mid-winter gales.
274 Burgh Island midnight tide (sleep safe)
01:01:56 | Episode: 279 | July 3rd, 2025
(pronounced Birr Island)
273 Sunset fields and oak trees – spring in Shropshire
56:12 | Episode: 278 | June 25th, 2025
Oak trees have a very particular sound this time of year. It’s to do with the leaves. Their texture, shape and contours. How they catch and filter the breeze. On a warm spring day, like this one the Lento box captured last month in rural Shropshire, you can hear the softness of the moving air sonified by banks of oak leaves.
272 Emptiness within Shelve Wood at night (sleep safe)
55:53 | Episode: 277 | June 16th, 2025
Experiencing the spatial sense of emptiness, in a natural place, when there’s nobody about, endlessly fascinates us. We built a high resolution immersive sound capture device to study it. We find natural places to leave it out recording alone, to capture quiet scenes in sound. Of time passing.
271 Wild breezes in the reeds – spring along the Thames Estuary
30:28 | Episode: 276 | June 4th, 2025
This soundscene was captured two weeks ago from a rackety wooden fence beside a grass meadow. Reeds are growing to right of scene, waving and hushing in strong gusts of spring warm wind. Centre, a view out across the meadow. Left of scene, over a rough track and an overgrown strip of marshy land is the Thames Estuary. Above, from time to time, skylarks. Hidden not too far off in a thicket, a cetti’s warbler. Various other birds come by, each a pleasure to hear, with its own unique estuary sound.
270 Soundscene from Northward Hill Nature Reserve featuring a nightingale
19:28 | Episode: 275 | May 26th, 2025
Whilst out along the Kent side of the Thames Estuary on Saturday, aiming to capture the sound of skylarks and reeds, we met a walker with a very friendly border terrier. She told us there was talk of a nightingale not too far away at RSPB’s Northward Hill Nature Reserve. We aren’t strictly speaking wildlife recordists, the Lento box is designed like a wide angle camera to capture panoramic landscape sounds, but we thought it might be worth a visit to the reserve to see if we might be able to find it.
