soundscapes - putting sound to photos

It isn't that windy today here, but it is coming in a direction that makes our chimney sing. Though that said you still need to hold onto your hat if you venture out. First recording is the microphone…

Evening walk from Garrigill to Loaning Head in Cumbria. With the farmer driving over the bridge over River South Tyne down in Garrigill.

Nice little walk around and below Ashgill Force. I wonder how noisy it would be down in this gorge when the water is really roaring. Your browser does not support the audio tag. Bonus: I have been playing…

Typical when you have the perfect weather for it and a stunning soundscape to boot. What do you do, use the wrong settings on the microphone, doh! I had to cut this wonderful 10min breakfast recording…

This bird was singing along in the woods in Scotland. I remember camping in in the woods in Denmark and Sweden when I was younger. I could hear the wind in the trees making the creak, along with birds…

Getting ready for an early morning walk in the Lake District and wild ponies trotted up to us to say hi. You can hear I had to move the mic a few times, as one of them was about to try to eat the “dead…

Was out for a walk and a quick hail storm hit, where the hails were jumping around on the grass. You can hear the hail hitting my hat, rain jacket and the goal post in the sport ground. Along with people…

Out walkies and taking a shortcut through the local allotment. Plenty of Blackbirds and Robins and gardeners out and about, and you can hear my dog running around too. Trying out my new Roland CS-10Em…

This is the sound of the wind hitting the fence at Bowland Knotts. I was all alone and standing there enjoying the stunning view and sunset. Just as I started to record, one car - the only one for hours…

I forgot I recorded this one of the first warm evenings in the spring. I was sitting outside, enjoying our neighbour playing blues on his guitar. Of course I was enjoying a wee dram too. Your browser does…

We went to the local wood just to get away from the heat, to sit in the shade and breeze to cool down. The sound of the wind in the trees is a bit like ASMR to us. Your browser does not support the audio…

My first attempt to partake in the World Listenig Day – The Collective Field 2020. I often go down into a little woodland/park in town to sit and think about about the world while my dog gets to have a…

The afternoon before, this river in Littondale was roaring away, sadly the wind was too strong to record it. Less than 24 hours later it is just a little trickle. Hard to believe that yesterday you didn’t…

So, they say that you should go to the country side, in this case Littondale, and enjoy the fresh air, views and quiet. Your browser does not support the audio tag. Well, when nature starts waking at 4am,…

We had a wee walk out and Tilley got to meet some friends, swim in the river and a run about. Your browser does not support the audio tag. She soon found my sleeping bag in the back of the van, where she…
