The Empress cicada starts calling as the sun sets, just as daytime birds are winding down their calls and nighttime creatures are waking up. You first hear distant ones, and it almost sounds like some industrial metal cutting process. Long version at https://youtu.be/6ZPDYlvj7MM

The close action of a pair of Ural Owls was so fascinating that I failed to notice the display of northern lights. 3.03.2024, Saueaugu, Estonia.

Happy to announce the forthcoming release of my nature field recording album 'movement (holkham)'  released on engraved glass.
Recorded during the cold winter months of 2010 and 2011/12, listening to the wildlife and natural sounds at Holkham estate on the Norfolk coast UK.

On this album I have tried to capture the natural and wildlife sounds of some of the many habitats at Holkham, with as little interference from humankind as possible.
I wanted the listener to feel that he/she is floating in time & space. Pausing at each different location, quietly listening to the wildlife and energy of each position, 
before gently moving on to the next.
The album is made up of two tracks, beginning in the hall grounds with sounds of Fallow Deer as they enter the rutting season, followed by recordings made on the edge of the marsh, pinewoods, beach and finally the sea.


You can now listen to the whole of 'movement (holkham)' and purchase it as a digital download: http://engravedglass.bandcamp.com/album/movement-holkham


There are also just a handful of limited edition cd copies left!

Thunderstorm at the lake

This year London has experienced several weekends of the hottest summer and that moved the Australian sound artist Kate Carr, whose practice is centred on articulating the relationship between people and place through sound, to point her microphone at the city. This volume is based on her recordings during a particularly hot long weekend in a corner of very busy intersection in London, where she resides now. In Heatwave, Carr is interested in both the serious and also the more prosaic aspects of soundscapes related to climate change. She investigated the throbbing summer music from her neighborhood, people’s efforts to keep cool, and the uneasiness which accompanies these everyday activities in this moment of environmental crisis. The way these pieces construct and compensate, with all the tangible sounds that fold into larger moods via multiple instruments, exemplifies her acumen in creating sonic stories that reflect our multi-layered experience of reality.

Starting to work with different layers from my bicycle recordings. This sketch includes recordings where contact mics are attached to the bicycle while riding, and ones where it is stationary and 'played' as an instrument.

Bike Sketch - Kate Carr

Wildlife interactions can often bring out all sorts of unconventional sounds, allowing us to hear more natural communication, which can sometimes be aggressive, or more intimate. I wouldn't like to guess whether this is aggressive or intimate but that sound towards the end is certainly compelling.
