Murmurs of the Kerry Ridgeway
01:00:42 | Episode: 12 | May 31st, 2020
In a remote spot just below the Kerry Ridgeway in Powys Mid-Wales, where a stream runs along the bottom of a wooded gully beside a country road, lies some rural peace and tranquillity, and what must be the murmurs of the Ridgway, voiced in the trees. The Ridgway is an ancient trading route between Wales and England that never drops below 1000 feet. Recorded on a sunny afternoon last April catch the sheep being fed, occasional cars and farm vehicles passing by on the road above the gully, and the infectious call of the early blackbirds amongst chiffchaffs, hedge sparrows and wrens and bees.
Sleeper train from Paris Austerlitz to Port Bou
22:46 | Episode: 11 | May 24th, 2020
Experience the mesmerising sound of the world passing by, recorded from outside and inside a couchette on a SNCF sleeper train one August night. Departure is from Paris Austerlitz just before 11pm. The train journeys through the night and takes 12 hours to get all the way across France to reach Port Bou in Spain. Hear the announcements and the train pausing in the early hours of the morning at Toulouse.
Under a large umbrella (rain and thunder)
13:19 | Episode: 10 | May 18th, 2020
Inside this umbrella the raindrops sound amazing. A summer rainstorm is passing over East London and there’s some gently crumpling thunder that opens up the vastness of the sky. It’s a late evening in June, it’s going dark. It’s a lovely thing to just stand in the garden and listen to the atmosphere.
Suffolk Wood (part 2) – 9pm
59:51 | Episode: 9 | May 11th, 2020
An hour of pure immersive peace and quiet from that spot in the wood where nobody goes. This surround audio recording is unedited and just as it happened. Underneath the trees hear crickets, aircraft gently passing far above and the parish church chimes 10pm towards the end. Muntjac deer trot about and one begins to loudly call across the wood at the end.
Dawn on a Peak District moorside
30:40 | Episode: 8 | May 3rd, 2020
This time of year the sparsely wooded hills just above the now infamous Todbrook Reservoir in Whaley Bridge Derbyshire resound with the dawn chorus. Thrushes, wrens, robins amongst many other types of birds and a woodpecker and from a nearby farm the cockerel announces the arrival of a new day. Steep grass moorland, grazing sheep within gritstone walls slope down the valley towards the reservoir.
Sheltering in the back garden (from a storm)
15:08 | Episode: 7 | April 28th, 2020
With some very loud thunderclaps this spring storm passes over the back garden. Sheltering in an old shed beside a high wall. The rain eases off and the birds keep singing happily. Towards the end an explosive thunderclap sets off a car alarm. Recorded a few years ago in binaural audio the garden is situated in Handsworth Wood Birmingham and sounds most realistic on headphones or earbuds.
Suffolk Wood (part 1) – 8.30pm
30:50 | Episode: 6 | April 22nd, 2020
It is just after half past eight in the evening in the Suffolk wood. The sun is setting. It is dusk, very warm and dry with light breezes. There are no people about. The A12, about four miles away provides a reliable hum. Aeroplanes lazily arc overhead. Crickets chirp, leaves move in the breeze, what may be muntjac deer creeps about. Listen out for the distant bell of St Marys Church, it can be heard striking nine.
Fowey, Cornwall – where land meets sea
30:11 | Episode: 5 | April 15th, 2020
Walking along a cliff path lined with crickets the sea appears, steep down to the right. There’s no one around. There’s time to listen. There’s a dot on the horizon, a boat. Hardly moving. At 6m30s we move to a different location – down a flinty path and over deep sand to the water’s edge. The water fizzes. Is the tide coming in, or out? At 13m45s, back up on the cliff path, warm grassy wafts and around the headland to another bay. At 19m06s, looking down from above the sea sounds different in this bay. A pontoon out in the swell occasionally rocks against its mooring. Finally at 24m55s, at the shoreline to sit and be close to the waves. The tide’s feeling lazy. It is going out.
