Saturday 25 April 2020: This morning, I got up early to record the dawn chorus for the first time as part of Ambient Isolation's lockdown sound project for International Dawn Chorus Day on Sunday 3 May.

I've included the finished piece in my Dawn Chorus playlist. It was also published on the Ambient Isolation website where you can find out more details...

...listen out for my contribution at the 22 minute mark!

Contributors were asked to record from 5-7am on 25 April and then submit "the most interesting minute".

However, when I examined the final recording, I realised the strongest part of this morning's dawn chorus coincidentally lasted for exactly one hour, so that's what I've prepared for you here.

If you're feeling cooped up, I hope it helps to soothe the head and the heart by bringing a little bit of nature into your room.

The full length recording will take you on quite a sonic journey, an hour long story with a beginning, middle and end. It starts off very quietly and gradually becomes stronger before tailing off towards the end when you'll hear the first cars passing on the main road nearby.

I'll also be sharing my three shortlisted clips here, so look out for those too.

Enjoy!
