On Boxing Day, I set out to capture the serene atmosphere of Lydbrook in the Forest of Dean. The morning was cold and misty, and I placed my Sony PCM-M10 recorder on a fence in the backyard to make an unattended, long-form field recording. The soundscape was soothing: various birdsong filled the air, their melodies sharp against the stillness, occasionally interrupted by the hum of a passing car. Six and a half minutes in, church bells chimed, marking the peaceful passage of time. It was a balm to experience such tranquillity in the countryside, a stone's throw from the River Wye.
Recordings made using Sony PCM-M10 build-in mics.

In 2002 Land Securities unveiled it’s controversial plans for the redevelopment of Exeter city centre’s Princesshay Shopping precinct.
Four years on, the demolition and archaeological excavation of this area has been completed, and construction is underway. The public have been given the opportunity to oversee part of this construction work by providing a purpose-built viewing platform.
The re-development has caused a stir among Exeter resident for whom the change will mark another step in the homogenisation of Devon’s capital, while for others points towards positive economic growth, an increase in the variety of facilities, and enhancement of the city’s reputation.
