These birds create such a beautiful, meditative soundspace. Thanks for this.

In Norfolk, Rose used microphones to record different landscape perspectives, like the wind on a metal floodgate and the fizz of sea foam. Sound artist Rob St. John composed a 10-minute-long sound piece for the exhibition from Rose’s recordings. The composition, half/life, moves through landscape and time, from the present beach where Seahenge was discovered, into its world of wood and sediment, then out into the saltmarsh.

This is a condensed edit of the sound piece.

This is an edit of recordings from the highland rainforests of the Huon Peninsula in Papua New Guinea.

These recordings were made during a recent trip to PNG with several colleagues from the Australian Wildlife Sound Recording Group. This edit contains some highlights from the four weeks we spent trekking and recording in the mountain forests above 2000m. 

In the near future I'll be making these recordings available in full, but for now, this is some of what we encountered.

This album is our 100th Listening Earth album release, and to celebrate this milestone, we're returning to one of our most evocative nature recordings from the last 25 years.

In the small hours of the morning, a full moon illuminates a large waterhole at the entrance to Ormiston Gorge, in outback Australia. The landscape all around is epic and ancient; massive quartzite rock walls are silhouetted above sandy banks lined with pale-barked gum trees.

This permanent waterhole is a haven for wildlife, and here we listen into the night. A gentle breeze occasionally whispers through the leaves of the old ghost gums, while crickets chirrup from small reedbeds.

Subtle sounds come from all around, but the mesmerising focus is a Pied Butcherbird. It roosts unseen in a tree opposite, singing gracefully. 

The song of the Pied Butcherbird is renowned as being among the most musical in the avian world. But now, in the depths of the night, this bird is singing slowly, serenely, languidly, as though half asleep. And in this place, surrounded by an amphitheatre of rock, its voice echoes - one of nature's most sublime songs in a natural cathedral.

The XX - Angels (enh fiction mix)

Caught In The Wake Forever is the solo project of Scottish multi-instrumentalist & songwriter Fraser McGowan. 
Treading a path of quiet lo-fi, ambient, folk & modern classical music, Caught In The Wake Forever has had releases on a variety of highly regarded labels such as Archives, Dronarivm, Fluid Audio & Hibernate Recordings. 
From the delicate torch songs of 2011's debut album 'Against A Simple Wooden Cross' to the nocturnal drones of 2016's 'Under Blankets', each recording has dealt with matters of emotional strain and release. 
Caught In The Wake Forever's newest offering 'Waypoints' is the first full length album to step away from this formula. Whilst previous albums drew on deeply personal subject matter to guide the writing process, Waypoints navigates unknown territories using improvisation as its starting point. Recording began with two intense day-long sessions of modular synthesizer and acoustic piano. The resulting hours of improvised material were then gradually shaped over a 4-year period, McGowan relying on his musicianship and intuition to structure the compositions. 

These exploratory pieces retain the abstract textures and sketch-like arrangements from which they were sculpted, finding form with the contemplative melancholy and delicate melodic warmth that characterises Caught In The Wake Forever's music. Seven instrumental works that sound like distant radio signals interspersed with fragments of lonely lo-fi piano, broadcast from an unknown, isolated location.

For me, sound recording is an important way to catalogue the biophony & geophony of a location at a given point in time. The landscape is ever changing and so is the life it supports. My sound recordings capture a moment that will never again exist - a "sonic photograph".
