An exposed tree, looking down upon the town of Wooler, high in the Northumberland hills. It stands amidst wide open fields, by an empty bench and an overgrown footpath. It stands. And it feels the time passing, through the slow undulations of the wind.
This is real quiet from the middle of the night, captured from a point above the harbour of St Abbs on the East Coast of Scotland. Car-free. Plane-free. Just the sparse and spacious cries of circling gulls, and the faintest hum of a fishing vessel anchored somewhere out at sea.
At the top of the old Victorian house, there’s a flight of dim, dark stairs. They lead to a pair of rarely used attic rooms. Cold. Steep. Narrow. As you climb, you feel the dust on the banisters. The threadbare carpets. The creaking boards.
Dusk gathering, we found a stony path, and followed it. Microphones still in the rucksack. It’d been a long day, and we still hadn’t found the right place to record. Time. Night approaching.
Up a soily slope, almost too steep to climb, nestled in against the smooth trunk of a tree, the microphones are recording. Recording the sound of solitude.
Wide silent sky. Still warm air. Having followed a country footpath across miles of open farmland you found it led you up and over a stony bank and, like a natural magic trick, down onto a deserted, shingle beach, animated with its own soft crashing waves.
This is a segment of time from a clearing deep in the Forest of Dean. Echoing birds in full voice. Soft hushing breezes in high treetops. Then, over time, a band of fresh summer rain, falling in rich spatial detail over countless broad-leaved trees. It’s a natural environment. The sort of place people travel to, to get away from it all. To get a dose of green health, because it ticks all the boxes. It’s remote. Proper countryside. Far away from major roads and industrialised, built-up areas. So, a place where unnatural noise should be almost non-existent.
Up steep steps from the sandy beach, and a birds-ear view of ocean breakers from a thicket, perched half-way up the cliff. Several hours to go before low tide. Directly ahead slow rolling waves, breaking over outcrops of large craggy rocks.
