Sounds from Kings Wood
22/12/2021 Duración: 07minKings Wood is a very old, if small wood. It is only a few miles from where I live, so, today, I walked there and spent some time trudging around and occasionally stopping to listen. When I did stop and listen I recorded these sounds. There are four clips from different parts of the wood. The third is a recording of me walking through leaves and mud. I haven't managed to post a lot of sounds this year. But I plan to change that going forward. In part because I want to record more and to use that as a way of remembering my friend Ian Rawes. He was an inspiration to me and a prolific field recorder. He is greatly missed.

Walk in the snow
10/02/2021 Duración: 22minTaking my normal morning walk in the mornings but on the 8th there had been snow, and, as I was walking the snow started again. I love the stillness that snowfall brings. I also enjoy the crunch of it underfoot. I hope you'll enjoy this recording.

Just a walk to the shops and back again
27/01/2021 Duración: 17minWhilst we are all in lock down again finding interesting sounds is not that easy. Everyday sounds are all around us and sometimes comforting, sometimes not. This is just me walking to the shops and back again. But I thought I would publish it, if for no other reason than to start publishing this podcast again.

The Silent Space at Sheffield Park
01/07/2020 Duración: 01minSheffield Park was wet yesterday, but even so it was lovely to walk around it. I ventured into a part of the park that I've never been in before. It was so peaceful and restful. I recorded just a minute of it with my iPhone as I didn't have my zoom recorder with me.

An electromagnetic recording of my kitchen
06/04/2020 Duración: 01minSomething a little different. I thought I'd record the electromagnetic sounds of the various appliances in my kitchen. Some interesting sounds I think. You might agree, you might not.

Things are very quiet
25/03/2020 Duración: 03minGiven everything that's happening in the world I have noticed how much quieter the environment is, and that bird song has noticeably increased. Which is lovely. Here's a few minutes of where I live.

Rotary lawn mower
21/03/2020 Duración: 01minI was mowing the grass at paths at the allotment and I thought that the mower made a quite nice sound. So, of course, I recorded it. Sadly only briefly. Because I had to get on with actually mowing the grass!

Is that really a Christmas Carol?
15/01/2020 Duración: 02minThis recording was taken a week before Christmas in the Whitgift Shopping Centre in Croydon. There was a school singing in the middle of the centre. So I stopped to listen, and then they started singing this, which I didn't think was terribly Christmassy, but then, what do I know? Apparently nothing.

The sound of Surrey Street Market
08/01/2020 Duración: 02minAnother recording of Surrey Street Market. This one taken a few days before Christmas. It wasn't a weekend though, hence it isn't as busy as it could be. I hope you enjoy it.

Electromagnetic Trips: Part 1 - Train Journey to London Victoria
30/06/2019 Duración: 19minThis is a little different. I recently purchased a device called an "Ether". The device converts the electromagnetic spectrum to audible sound. It can make for a quite interesting experience. This recording is of my journey to London Victoria station. It's about 20 minutes long. At times the audio is quite interesting, and others not so much so. This really is an experiment, and one I'll be repeating when I've found more electromagnetically interesting environments to record.
