St Abbs. A small fishing village and harbour in bygone times, perched on the coastal edge of South East Scotland. A wonderful place to experience what the world must have sounded like, before machines were invented. It is, for this reason, quite a rare place, where people can go to bathe their ears, uninterrupted, with naturally spatial oceanic noise.
This precipitous place, high in the Derbyshire hills, flows with birdsong and fresh moorland water. It’s aural presence is made almost entirely of natural things. Non-human, natural phenomena.
A wide open landscape, resting, between gusts of rain-speckled Northumbrian air. This place, on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, is endlessly rural. Mostly farmland. Dotted with far apart sheep, grazing under a silent plane-free sky. It’s nearly midday. Hearing the spatial sound of time passing and looking down, from a hill above, on the town clock of Wooler. How might its chimes carry? Through the speckling rain. Between the brisk gusts of scurrying air that cuff around the ears but then, are gone.
Bright hazy sunshine. Behind, and up the bank, a winding footpath, littered with discarded sunbleached things. Here, sat still and amongst it all, dense bankside vegetation. Everything dried up, and whisping in a warm late summer breeze. Ripe blackberries growing on renegade edgeland canes. Hints of sunbathing crickets. Slishing shoreside water. Wafts of cludgy strandline clay.
Sometimes we feel it’s right to share an ear-witness report from a place where natural quiet and human-made noise co-exist. Our last episode like this was from the Forest of Dean (episode 135). We feel they mark the aural-reality and document the state of the world we live in today. Human-made noise has quite varied effects and meanings, not always bad. This latest report contains sounds most urban dwellers hear everyday, but here in a countryside setting in January.
The city sleeps, under a dark impenetrable sky. Streets, almost empty. Beneath invisible rainclouds, countless back gardens hold up their hands. Up, as high as they can reach, to catch the falling water.
A mid-February night and you’re out on an empty beach, for the cold sea air, and that feeling of wild emptiness. There’s nobody about.
We captured this passage of time on a visit to some friends in Exeter last year in April during a spell of fine weather. It turned out to be a silky soft recording of a spring garden at dawn.
