197 December rain light to moderate (sleep safe)
41:54 | Episode: 201 | December 10th, 2023
The rain came down, in the early hours of this morning, as I write. Lovely rain. Light to moderate. Temperature 7. Dew point 4. Wind EastNorthEast, gusting 8 knots. Enough to drift the ice cold raindrops. And ruffle the leading edge of the wide tarpaulin, that we’ve stretched over our back yard for shelter. And to make the rain sound better. More detailed. More spatial.
196 Estuary bleak passing ship
33:51 | Episode: 200 | December 2nd, 2023
Warm inside an all-weather coat. Facing out across the water. Sat, boots wedged against the top ridge of the slanted seawall. There’s rain in the air. Thirty minutes to take in this wild estuary place, you tell yourself.
195 Tranquility found on England’s highest railway station
43:29 | Episode: 199 | November 26th, 2023
Dent station lies on the historic Settle to Carlisle railway between Blea Moor Tunnel and Rise Hill Tunnel. It’s the highest operational railway station on the National Rail network in England. The highest and we feel the best because it is so extremely wide open. So extremely exposed. Set in the North Yorkshire Dales National Park, Dent station serves at 1,150 feet above sea level, in stalwart public service.
194 Inside a bird hide
36:32 | Episode: 198 | November 19th, 2023
The atmosphere inside a bird hide is quite unusual, as interior spaces go. Low wind moaning in the drooping wires between telegraph poles. Whispering rushes and siffing seed heads of marsh grasses. Indistinguishable shifting murmurings, of the surrounding landscape, blown in through low letterbox windows. To the ear there is a lot of outside to be heard inside a bird hide. A fleeting curlew. A humming propeller plane. A distant pair of passing footsteps on the gravel towpath.
193 Slow waves in the night quiet (sleep safe)
53:15 | Episode: 197 | November 12th, 2023
It’s always strange when we leave the Lento box behind to record overnight. The feeling is strong, but also hard to pin down. The Lento box feels like a trusted friend, even a family member now. It has taken us years to build and refine, and lives on the shelf in our kitchen when its not out on a job which makes it more than just an object. It’s travelled far and wide with us too, and made almost every episode published on Radio Lento. Will the box be there when we come back, is of course the one thought we’ve had to learn not to worry about, because otherwise Radio Lento and all the places that have been captured in panoramic binaural sound would not exist.
192 Remembering summer on the Hoo Peninsula
51:05 | Episode: 196 | November 4th, 2023
The experience of being out in the wide open on Higham Marshes in Kent on a warm May afternoon is nothing short of glorious. It’s a perfect location for the Lento mics too. Earlier this year we walked through the nature reserve en-route to the old fort on the Thames and left the Lento box to capture the sound scene of the Higham Marshes nature reserve from a little hawthorn tree in full scented blossom. We shared part of this sound-view in episode 169. Here’s the other part of that same recording, kept back until now, for a time we really need to travel back.
191 Moorland waterfall (sleep safe natural white noise)
01:00:00 | Episode: 195 | October 28th, 2023
An hour of pure falling water in a natural wide open landscape. Captured in the early hours of yesterday morning in the hills of Derbyshire. A place off the beaten track. Up in the hills. Rugged. Reached by a steep up climb holding for balance on arm-thick sapling trunks, whilst stepping between winding deer tracks.
190 St Mary’s Church in Rye
01:01:09 | Episode: 194 | October 21st, 2023
We’re hugely grateful to Revd Paul White of St Mary’s church at Rye for enabling this special recording to be made.
