Welcome to walkplacedistancetime.

Walking, movement in place, in air, distance through time.

Walk south, cross the burn at the ford, walk through birchwood, pass the milepost to stand and look, turn, walk down the slope to the beach, back from Hallaig.

In this episode: a short boat ride at high tide brought us to a small man-made island, long since forgotten in the middle of the Channelsea river. Sheltered from London's hurried clock by the ancient flow of water, we became permeated by a slower sense of time, witnessing the inexorable, gradual processes of buildings returning to earth, trees sprouting in their midst, their leaves flickering in the winter sunlight.

Listening, we attuned ourselves to the sounds the currents brought us, our answers carried gently downstream. A great tit's call and heron's cry signalled a shift in the tide, and we returned back to the city as the river began to recede.

Heartfelt thanks to Blanc Sceol (artists Stephen Shiell and Hannah White) for their generous invitation to visit Channelsea Island and safe crossings, and for sharing & performing the Ear to the River score with us, and to Helen Frosi for attentive ears and recording.

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.

Take the heat out of this July by dipping into the crystal clear waters of our third Foldable Soundbath. Explore its wild and wavy depths, with ambient drones, high pitched strings and haunting voices, created by musicians and sound artists alike.

This month we are also featuring an interview with Samra Mayanja, an artist and writer whose central concern is what moves us and what it is to be moved. Samra talks about her work Blueprint for the Deep, the importance of the choir and the role her voices plays within her work.

The Foldable Sounds Collective presents Foldable Soundbath. The collective formed during the April 2020 lockdown and is composed of three artists: Daniela Maria Geraci, Lucy Rose Cunningham and Isabelle Pead. Individually dealing with sound as an archival, performative and narrational tool, collectively they interrogate sound’s potential to sonically transport the imagination outside one’s four walls, drawing on a global need for freedom of movement.

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.
