A collection of short audio, self-voiced, reflections, field recordings and sound art- headphones recommended.


Poetry of Microphone Placement. I sit in silence for one minute, absorbing the sonic environment. Traffic, that curious rasping of tyres on wet tarmac, pervasive, omnipresent. Birds, wind. The creaking of a fence. The pine boards of my garden office creak, groan and settle. Suddenly I’m 15 again.



Poetry of place. I walk a short beach. Amongst the crab heads, lobster claws, discarded nets and rusting metal, there is beauty, if you open your ears.



A fishing Story. Memory becomes folded around the contemporary, and space intertwines with place. Field Recordings and photographs feed a script which is accurate, but not a truth.



The Body. Sound design, music, field recording, mood, atmosphere, and a body. Memory is fallible.



The Train. A diesel commuter train belches smoke, brakes hiss. The near-empty carriage sways and rocks. A monotonous journey made bearable by listening.



The Unicast. A narrative using sound design, field recording, composition, fx and sonic imagination. What do you see, hear and feel? Where are you?
