July 21, 2017 / 11:57 / 51.429249, -2.550404 / A Moment Of Relaxation / The window open / The day warm, but overcast / I lay in the sofa, eyes closed, listening to the steady rhythm of traffic nearby, to the wind rustling the leaves, and the song of the plastic cover of the outside table / In that moment, there is not a thought in my brain, not a worry in my life //
About the Artist:
Originally from Northern France, Allysse Riordan https://soundcloud.com/allysseriordan, relocated to the UK in the early 2010s / As a field recordist, she records what she hears, like an archivist keeping track of the world in a date, time, and place / She also records the unheard with the help of specialised microphones to bring objects to life and add a different layer to their physical presence in our lives / Her aim is to make people aware of the variety and subtlety of sounds around them //
