285 Late October on Chesil Beach (sleep safe)
00:31:55 | Episode: 290 | October 31st, 2025
The making of this high-definition sound photograph of Chesil Beach began thanks to the number 1 bus from Weymouth to Portland. As we stepped aboard, the sky felt low. Folded and layered with grey October cloud. Rain was in the forecast so we’d taken raincoats.
284 The wind of Long Mynd
00:31:56 | Episode: 289 | October 21st, 2025
Reaching the top of Long Mynd in rural Shropshire requires a good steady climb. The rocky footpath winds up and up, and so must you, if you want to get to the top. Most people do, as much for that sense of physical achievement gained over an hour or two, as the views. 360 degree panoramic views of all that makes this whole area so special. But before you get to those views, there are many other fascinating sights to be had on the way up. And not only for the eyes.
283 Night trees of Boggle Hole (sleep safe)
00:50:49 | Episode: 288 | October 9th, 2025
Robin Hood’s Bay on the North Yorkshire coast feels remote for England. It lies at the bottom of a very steep road that descends down from the road between Whitby and Scarborough. The sign at the top of the village warns sightseers interested in a look not even to try driving down. With virtually no traffic noise and the whole area under a quiet sky, we knew this was a good place for the Lento microphones.
282 Night train to Paris (sleep safe if you like trains)
00:51:22 | Episode: 287 | September 27th, 2025
The environment within the cabin of a sleeper train is, well, unusual. Quite contradictory. It feels empty when you first step in, but full seconds later. It has a dead quiet feel, whilst also being noisy. It affords little physical space to move about in, yet anything you accidentally drop ends up out of reach. It would feel claustrophobic too if it weren’t also strangely spatial when the lights are out. It has bareness and simplicity that somehow affords comfort. And the cabin often rocks about, as do you.
281 Night rain in the Pyrenees (sleep safe with chimes)
01:04:52 | Episode: 286 | September 15th, 2025
Beside the only road leading out of Sant Llorenc de la Muga we found a small group of trees. We didn’t have much time. The sky was pitch black and the ground beneath our feet was streaming with water that’d all come down a few minutes ago in a deluge with simultaneous flashes of forked lightening so powerful, so bright, they’d temporarily frozen us to the spot. We shone our torch from tree to tree, searching for a suitable trunk that might provide some shelter for the Lento box. The road was deserted. Traffic was not an issue. Only one more village lay beyond, where the road literally ended. A patch of bare trunk came into view between rain soaked leaves. Around us every thing glistened. And dripped. Every shrub. Every branch. Every leaf. To the eyes and to the ears it was a rich sparkling sensory experience, that seemed interchangeable. Reaching through we tied the Lento box onto the trunk, angled it onto the wide landscape scene, and left it to record alone through the night.
280 Pyrenees thunder above watery valley
00:44:34 | Episode: 285 | September 4th, 2025
Our friends told us that in Sant Llorenc the weather changes towards the end of August. Endless days of thick summer heat gives way to something altogether more dramatic. Ominous black clouds the size of cities. Rain drops like translucent grapes. Fork lightening like you see at the cinema. Thunder, that carves open the sky, like unimaginably huge boulders crashing downwards from the high mountain peaks.
279 Lento Long – Kielder Collection (180 minutes)
03:00:46 | Episode: 284 | August 20th, 2025
For this second August intermission we’ve once again brought together multiple recordings made across a location to share as one very long non-stop piece.
278 Lento Long – Quantocks collection (180 minutes)
03:03:54 | Episode: 283 | August 12th, 2025
It’s August intermission time! This year we’ve decided to bring together recordings from various locations in a specific geographic area and share them as a very long non-stop episode.
