Sonic Darts # Hogsmill River Sound Walk

Gwaith Swn's Sonic Darts is a London-based sound art collective presenting new sound works, performances and discussions.

In this episode, an hour long edit of a binaural field recording made by Paul Freeman a week prior to this transmission, walking the length of the Hogsmill River in South West London.

The river is a rare chalk stream, one of only 210 in the world. It springs in Ewell Village and makes its way through suburban nature reserves, crossing under the occasional railway line and road until it joins the Thames at Kingston.

The recording was made using head mounted microphones to record in the binaural method, so for the full effect it's recommended to listen on headphones.
