Episodes
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.
Sleeping city waves
42:53 | Episode: 4 | April 10th, 2020
Hearing London at night from a small patch of grass bordered by shrubs, flowering plants and a bay tree, a typical garden in Hackney enclosed within old brick-built walls. Just before 3am distant machines began to fill the air with gentle undulating washes of sound. The effect is pleasantly soporific. It’s a wide landscape recording and quite delicate, best through headphones or on speakers when everything is quiet.
A babbling brook at night
51:43 | Episode: 3 | April 10th, 2020
At the bottom of a steep-sided thickly wooded and uninhabited valley in the rural county of Derbyshire, England, this babbling brook fills the night air with its watery melodies. In this recording made in early summer, the occasional pair of owls can be heard, and what might be creatures flitting in the shallow water. It’s an unedited recording of a real place, part of a 14 hour non-stop take to capture the essence of the valley, and so includes some human activity too, nothing much, the odd car passing on a distant road and a few aircraft of different types over-flying the hills.
Pyrenees walk cicadas
30:48 | Episode: 2 | April 2nd, 2020
Best with headphones or earbuds if you have some handy. At times steep and very rocky, this is a surround-sound audio recording of a walk through trees and scrub that’s alive with cicadas. It is August, early evening and the temperature has subsided to a luxurious 30 degrees. The path never ended. It led us into the wilderness. Lots of space to listen, relax and unwind.
Episode 1 – Suffolk wood at 6am
27:53 | Episode: 1 | March 29th, 2020
It is mid-August. The early sun is lighting up the treetops against a pale blue sky. You’re hiding out in this rural wood which is typical of any in the South East of England. You’re listening to it waking up with the sounds of jovial wood pigeons, rasping rooks, sparkling wrens and robins. Rabbits hop about between the trees, over carpets of dry leaves. As if from nowhere a woodman starts work, clearing fallen branches. Miles away, the A12 flows with traffic, softened by the distance into an oceanic haze. Pheasants prowl under the lazy arc of a passing jet aircraft. Escape to this secret place and watch through your ears as the new day unfurls.
