Hollow interior. The whole tree juddering as the wind pulls it back and forth by the branches. Eurasian Wren; Common Chiffchaff; a pair of Common Buzzards over the woodland canopy. New creaks and old creaks; new growth and old growth. Freshly grown spring leaves. A portrait of landscape, from the tree’s own body.

‘Oak Trunk’ was realised in the composer’s private studio between March and July 2020, with support from the Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership (AHRC).

No AI software of any kind was used to compose ‘Oak Trunk’. All ideas, sounds, audio processes and written notes are the unique creative output of the recordist/composer.

Piece notes revised and updated October 2025.
