The recording you can listen to above was made during a sleepless night I had recording a larger field study I outline below…

I stayed in accommodation with nearby Cabilia woods working with Joanna Vestey recording the woods sonically and photographically for 3 days and 2 nights. We worked alongside immersed in the rare Temperate Rainforest and a diverse range of plant species, and multitudinous life forms. It is also an official ancient oak woodland – defined as ‘an area of land where there has been a continuous cover of trees since 1600’, which currently makes up only 2% of British woodland. I recorded this soundscape after a day of forest immersion. where time is fluid and the boundary between natural and artificial soundscapes has dissolved. The wind outside howls, carrying with it the distorted echoes of past lives. Rain beats down on a metal carport, each drop a resonant note in an endless percussive loop. The rhythmic drip of water from drain pipes creates a syncopated counterpoint, an accidental orchestra of liquid time. Bird calls filter through the air dampened by the rain, their melodies glitching and warping in time with the soft ticking of an analogue clock inside a room—a relic of human timekeeping. The clock ticks with a mechanical precision, yet it feels like it’s breathing, in sync with the world outside. Each sound blends into the next, creating a hauntingly beautiful audio tapestry that blurs the line between organic and synthetic, past and future, chaos and order. It’s as if the world has become a vast, interconnected sound installation, where every element—natural or manufactured—plays a role in a complex, ever-evolving sonic ecosystem. The sounds are familiar yet alien, comforting yet unsettling, a reminder of a world where the boundaries of time and nature have long since dissolved.
