I am pleased to be working with artist and musician Matt Shenton on his project Listening To The Landscape, that has been funded by a Arts Council England 'Develop Your Creative Practice' grant. For our first session together we spent quite some time talking about equipment and techniques for recording sound in the field, before venturing out into the wilds of the Shotley Peninsular to find a spot to make a recording. In the resultant recording you can hear the bells of the Royal Hospital School and birds including Jackdaw, Robin, Rook, Long Tailed Tit, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Magpie, Pheasant and Blackbird.
