*It should be noted however that the playback took place in the dark, as if a film was being screened, so the pictures and the sound could not be considered simulataneously; I wanted the sense of a jigsaw to carry through.

Scenes From The Jigsaw

6 minutes atop the fire escape. With barbecue smells wafting, I recorded the sounds on a summer's eve in a small corner of a North London suburb. One can hear many species of bird and many varieties of their songs. People call to each other in play and on matters of idle everyday import. The M25 and A1(M) motorways rumble in the background across a big sky. A pigeon occasionally flutters to a stop on a nearby branch. May 2013.
