Recorded one Saturday morning (19 October 2002, 11:00 AM) while I was walking through the market near my home in Reading, UK. This kind of traditional market is fast disappearing in parts of the UK, being replaced with "shops outdoors". I found the woman calling "Come on help yourself where you like - you can't do that everywhere" intriguing. She was referring to customers selecting their own fruit and vegetables from the stall, rather than being given what they were given. This market is a mix of more traditional produce stalls (fruit, vegetables, herbs, meat, etc) and guys selling mobile phones, software, CDs and so on. This is a binaural recording and best listened to with headphones.

An expansion in time. A simple water droplet is expended into a miraid of microsounds that build to a climax and them ebb away as the energy in the droplet disipates.

A composition - a dream.

It was early evening as I wandered along the bank of the river. The trees were moving gently in the evening breeze. The sun was just going down bathing the trees and the river bank in a warm glow. It was the Golden Hour. I sat down, leant against the bank and listened to the sounds of the river. This was a magical place. I must have drifted off in the atmosphere of the place. As I slept I dreamt of the river gently bubbling along, the insect rising from the surface being swept up by bats as they arced their along the river.
