Remembering movement: time and place thickened
Autumn walk: sharp oblongs of reverberation As summer begins to amble through spring, the remaining sonic perambulations of autumn and winter within the moors are completed. The recordings from which autumn is composed are now over a year old: the … Continue reading

As part of the Winchester Arts Festival, 10 Days Across the City, I composed a cycle of three soundscapes for the auditorium of the Theatre Royal, Winchester. The cycle included a twenty-minute sound walk through a year of Winnall Moors … Continue reading

First frost motet: ghosts and the sound of empty landscapes
Up early to find the dawn and the moors covered in the first frost of autumn, a mist held over the river, slowly lifted with sunrise. The soundscape was strangely sparse and silent, all sound seemed distant and vaporous, small … Continue reading
Interruptions in the soundscape: sound squared
In early October there was a sudden interruption to the landscape and soundscape in the moors. The collapse of a ‘hatch’ diverting water from the river Itchen into the water meadow meant that emergency repair work had to be undertaken. … Continue reading
