Episodes
249 Night stream at West Quantoxhead (sleep safe after 17 mins)
01:01:16 | Episode: 253 | December 17th, 2024
With the stream to our right, we headed down from the exposed uplands of West Quantoxhead and into a shallow valley. Sky whitish grey. Air still. It smelled of rich late Autumn undergrowth, and faintly of mushrooms.
248 Late morning air on Kilve beach
30:06 | Episode: 252 | December 11th, 2024
Kilve beach is edged by sheer cliffs and is made of rocks. Mostly small ones the size of oranges, up to medium sized ones the size of sofa cushions. To cross over them is unstable and you have to move like a penguin, which must be fun to watch if you aren’t the one trying to stay upright. Jutting up between the smaller rocks are huge mattress sized boulders that are either massive flat topped rocks of unimaginable weight, or maybe if you could look below have no underside at all because they are the exposed surface of the Earth’s crust. They make excellent resting points where you can temporarily stop from awkward walking and admire the amazing view.
247 Natural white noise from the firs of Kielder Forest
47:05 | Episode: 251 | December 3rd, 2024
This is segment II from a 6-hour sound capture we took earlier this year at Kielder Forest in Northumberland. Recorded in spring, the environment is rich with birdsong, mainly willow warblers whose song is a short and very cheerful descending scale. We’d been walking along one of the rough paths that thread through the forest below the Kielder Observatory and had found exactly what we’d travelled up to this specific area to record. The hushing sound of wind in tall fir trees.
246 Edgeland time by the Hythe Sound Mirror (sleep safe)
37:38 | Episode: 250 | November 25th, 2024
Turn right off the towpath beside the Military Canal, cross the footbridge, locate the stile that leads onto the hill, then follow the rough footpath up into some impressive edgeland. It’s rough. Grassy. Very thistly. And as you ascend it feels hard. Increasingly wild. It’s somewhere up here, we say, striding firm against the gradient. But the thing’s not marked on the map.
245 Night rain on the edge of the Quantock hills (sleep safe)
49:09 | Episode: 249 | November 18th, 2024
It was late. Everybody had gone to bed. The remote cottage where we were staying in the Quantock Hills still felt warm, even though the oil burner had knocked itself off a while ago. Despite this, the place had started to feel, well, a bit strange and I wasn’t quite sure what the feeling was.
244 Rocky West Somerset beach (high-definition sound)
30:29 | Episode: 248 | November 9th, 2024
We found this quiet place in West Somerset. Afternoon waves softly breaking along a rocky beach under October sunshine. The low landscape of Wales visible across the water.
243 Night callings in the Forest of Dean – interleaved worlds
41:27 | Episode: 247 | November 1st, 2024
It isn’t often we hear strange calls coming out of our long overnight captures, but this was one. The dead of night deep in the Forest of Dean, and a call that from the quiet emptiness begins to echo. Human? Dog? Muntjac deer? All three, or none? Muntjac deer are commonly heard repeating a single harsh bark across rural landscapes at night though this sound doesn’t quite match the sound signature of muntjac, nor indeed dog, or human. The calling persists over ten minutes, seemingly human, then changing into something very much not human. What it is we can’t know.
242 Kentish landscape time
01:00:24 | Episode: 246 | October 22nd, 2024
Daytime contentedness can be found here. Between the rustling leaves and trees of Folkestone Warren that rolls greenly down towards the sea. We couldn’t have known when we set up the Lento box under hot early August sunshine that the next day of recording would bring such strong breezes.
