Lea Navigations #9 - Leamouth

Littoral Transmissions meander through the sonic landscape of the River Lea from Stonebridge Lock to Leamouth. Recordings from the field converge with layers of sound to create an aural impression of the navigation.

From the crow's nest of Lightship 95 moored at Trinity Buoy Wharf looking seawards to the further reaches of the Thames past Greenwich and beyond to the estuary we open our ears to a full circumference of sound. Tracing the Lea's final meander from this great height we take in the peninsula and try to make out the precise point at which the two rivers merge. Drawn in by the landscape we forsake our vantage point and climb down to explore further.
