We having our back streets relaid at the moment by paviours. We got about 10 weeks of this to listen too, oh the joy. This got me thinking about an old poem from Denmark that got turned into a folk song. Which I used to sing back in school and out scouting. Here’s a few […]

Puppet Festival
I forgot to upload this last weekend, from the Puppet Festival in Skipton. I only had a short time there but enjoyed it. This it a a stable English tradition, not sure how I like it, I’m more keen on it if it was a freehouse called Punch and Judy. See full screen

Sport ball bar
I meet up with an old friend who is a sports ball fan. I used to go with him to these places. Yes, I have had some fun back in the day in a place like this. But, boy I have forgotten how much I actually hated these places of pure hell. Lucky his team […]

Stoned circle
Well my attempt to record the birds and the running water somewhat failed. To get the mic out of the gentle wind I had to put it closer to the water. So therefore the trickle is much higher than intended. This is the little stone circle in Yockenthwaite, it is either the left over of […]

Skyrat or pigeon
Caerlaverock Castle, stunning little castle, well worth a visit. It was full of pigeons, when you walked up to a tower or dungeon they went all quite take a few steps back and of they went again. See full screen

River Lowther
A wonderful walk in and around the grounds of Lowther Castle. I know this is another river trickling, but this one you can hear a blackbird and the mutt walking around sniffing in the grass next to the river 🙂 See full screen

Homebrewing
The yeastie are doing their work in my next homebrew, Festival Razorback IPA. This will go on for 2-3 more days before it quite down. But still the wait continues for a few more weeks more. About 2 weeks in the fermenting pot and then about 2-3 weeks in the bottles before I can start […]

Don’t want to be a fish
Just a cheap and quick test. Got a cheap lavalier mic, put some cling film on it and attached it to a mono pod. Then put it all into the canal while one of the tour boats passed. If I do it again I need to find a better way to make sure that my […]

Rudely awakened
OK not on a Wednesday, but a Thursday for our bin day. With the cobblestone back streets, we do get a “rude” wake up every bid day. At least they are fast so one can go back to sleep again 🙂

Bird song in the rain
I walk this path twice a day, through a little bit of “woodland”, located between the trees on the bank down to the train line and the trees next to/in the allotments. As you can hear the mutt isn’t much for this standing around listening to the birds. See full screen See full screen

Podcast
Over the last few years I have been addicted to pod casts. Brilliant things to listen to while walking the dog. Today I got to listen to 99% Invisible episode – Sound and Health: Cities – about how sounds (noise) they harm our health. This rather apt, as I am doing these soundscapes recordings. Here […]

Critical mass
A blast from the past. Was digging through my old photos and videos. Back in 2007, I helped my friend to build Beatrix. A sound system he could drag along with his bike. First part is use cycling to the start and testing out how the sound would be on the road. We had people […]

Movie night
When going to the pictures in the UK this is what you hear while you munch on your popcorn. I’m lucky to have a local “independent” cinema just at the end of the road. That doesn’t rip your arm off, when you get a ticket and a bucket of popcorn. See full screen

Street dogs
This was an eye opener for us. Never experienced dogs living “wild” on the streets like this. Heard them in the night near/in towns fighting. Doing the day they often spend their time running and barking at passing cars. See full screen

We are sailing
Waiting at the Leverburgh, Harris, Ferry Terminal to embark, listing to the ferry docking. The sounds of big metal bits against concrete with cars rolling over. Gives me flash back to holidays in Denmark before all the bridge building (if you are Danish you will understand 🙂 ), when took the ferry often. Oh and […]

The Tube
If have spend any time in London, you would be hard pushed not to have used the underground trains, aka the tube. It is surprising how fast you get used to it, learn the short cuts and what lines goes where. At first it is an underground labyrinth, that you can’t make head or tail […]

A quiet place
Well not really, since you got the sound of the stream, waterfalls, birds and the wind in the trees. Yet it is a good place to go and get away from the “normal” buzz of the town or office. Where you can think and relax in a a quiet place See full screen

Them bells
Every Tuesday night, when the wind is in the right direction, we can hear the local church bells. For about 5 years, I kept going – I’m must go up and see and hear them close up. Without fail they are ringing and therefore I was sure, it was the local church bell ringer club […]

Can I kick it?
The very best part of this season is the leaves kicking. I feel sad when I see others walk straight through a pile of fallen leaves. I’m so close to shouting at them – Kick it! Cause it will make you feel better and put a smile on your face. See full screen

Love vs Hate
I got a love vs hate relationship with London. Love : The crowds, the buzzing 24/7 life style, lights, nightlife, early mornings, the global cosmopolitan, the intermingled mixture cultures and ideas, the sounds, the music, the food. Was standing out side KX for 10min and heard Italian, Spanish, Russian, German, French, Cantonese, friends from all […]

Anything from Classical, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Rock’n’Roll, Hip Hip, Film Scores, Blues… you name it. He will then […]

Exit Planet Dust
Years ago I was at Roskilde Festival in Denmark and was talking to random attendee about what I should go and see. They told me that I should watch a band called Dust Brothers, though they where listed as The Chemical Brothers. Not really sure what to expect, I entered the DeeDay Tent, a DJ […]

A wash out
The day before I enjoyed this view of Dumyat (Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Mhèad) Hill, and I wanted to walk up it. I checked out the weather forecast and it looked like more clouds, but the rain would at least hold back to until lunch time. Therefore I decided to get up early so that I […]

Summer storms
It has been playing around for the last 48 hours, trying to get started but failed. Then finally it broke the heat wave that have been around for the last few weeks and gave us a good old summers thunder-storm. Not only does the plants need a drop of a water, we too could use […]

Shopping
Necessary evils that is shopping. Yes I can go online and get it delivered. But sometimes you do need it now. My main pet hate with supermarkets is that they change their layout or move products around. So have to go up and down the aisles or worse ask for directions! See full screen

While driving in Scotland, the music player played a track at random. I got tonnes of tracks, of random best off and mixes etc, that I often never listen too and/or remember I got. Then a track tickled my grey cells and and after some digging about on youtube today, I found a track that […]

A sound story
Today I heard three noises from outside, in a row that made a story. Yes, it is wild, crazy and utterly random, so bear with me. The idea is to write a story, as random as it can be, with the sound of the last three things you hear in your surroundings. On the radio, […]
