Littoral Transmissions #28 - Summer's Arc
Wednesday 22nd November 2023 00:30 - 01:00 GMT
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.
In the lowlight, eyes and ears dissolve. What sounds like the chirping of crickets could in fact be static from overhead cables. Are those really birds? Where does the sky begin? The lightning strike of empty, onrushing trains briefly sends the scene into stark relief, followed by brief silence before the dusk chorus resumes.
