As the Season Turns
As The Season Turns è prodotto in collaborazione con Lia Leendertz, autrice di The Almanac: A Seasonal Guide. Il podcast è ora alla sua quinta edizione.
Ogni episodio esce il primo del mese e segue il paesaggio che cambia con le stagioni: dalla luna e dalle stelle alle maree e agli alberi.
Found Sounds escono il venerdì di metà mese - questi brevi e delicati frammenti di un luogo selvatico del Regno Unito sono creati dall’artista sonora Alice Boyd a partire da registrazioni ambientali, musica e interviste.
September
For September, we’re on a shingle beach, where the shifting pebbles reveal unexpected life. Tall stalks of wild fennel have long memories to share, while above us black-headed gulls call insistently in the fading sky. At sea, tiger-striped mackerel slip and shimmer through the waves, displacing the water as our feet dislodge small lichens on shore, where we listen out for story and song. This is an edgeland, where nothing stays the same for long...
Found Sound for August: Jackie Morris
Jackie Morris has the word ‘entrance’ on her studio floor - to remind her that’s her job, she says. For August, Alice visited Jackie at home on the wild Pembrokeshire coast, to be entranced by Jackie’s reflections on her extraordinary career as one of Britain’s most celebrated illustrators, revealing an artistic practice rooted in her deep belief that we are not separate from nature, but part of it.
August
In this August episode, it’s an unsettled day on the estuary. As the tide retreats the mud gives up its treasures - molluscs, aromatic wild herbs and the calls of wetland birds. In the water, small sharks scull through the shallows, while back on shore we hear tales of transformation, and a gentle song of the harvest.
Found Sound for July: Errol Reuben Fernandes
This July, Alice meets gardener and artist Errol Reuben Fernandes, Head of Horticulture at south east London’s Horniman Museum and Gardens. Errol leads Alice to an overlooked place that’s been special to him since childhood - an abandoned brownfield site that nonetheless thrums with life. Found Sounds are sonic scrapbooks of field recordings and interviews with people keeping heritage crafts alive.
July
For July, we’ve arrived by the sea - strolling along the rocky shore to find fossils at our feet, while swifts and swallows whisk along the sand. The rockpools burst with anemones and crabs, and we forage for seaweed along the tidelines. Lisa Knapp sings goodbye to the cuckoo, soon to fly from these shores.
