Listening to the wind roar from the sea via perspective of my son’s bedroom in the loft. As it rattles and rumbles through the structure of our house I’m enjoying this distant signal from Shoreham Port, a sound link, just visible from the window. #listening #wind #shorehamport #environmentalsound

The recording begins with the roar of the waves and as it progresses we enter the sound world of the material, until gradually all we are left with are the resonances and vibrations of the structure alone. #listening #space #material #fieldrecording #shorehamport #reveal #transform #sea #seadefences #soundscape

Listening and recording. This aggregate machine is shut down for the night but the strong wind activates the structure making it rattle and sound as if 100s of tiny rocks are falling like hail stones. Recording in this deserted industrial space made me anxious and my head swivelled from left to right looking out for danger. #fieldrecording #listening #industrial #shorehamport

Keen to go and listen and record this afternoon but the rain was incessant and freezing cold. I rarely drive down to the port but I did today. I sat in the car watching the rain blur the view and only ventured outside to inspect the new sea defences. #shorehamport

I’m hoping to create multi speaker presentations of Molt in a temporary gallery on site at Shoreham Port as part of a wider multi dimensional exhibition. (2/2) #shorehamport #soundart

As I write this my hood, pulled up to keep out the ferocious wind, flaps and ripples, and instantly, instinctively I fear for my recordings’ purity, as if it will lose its worth and value if my presence is discovered. (3/3) #fieldrecording #soundscape #shorehamport #landscape #listening

New field recording and journal. The sea wall runs for a short stretch along Basin Road South. Brown slabs of pebble dash concrete about 2 meters high with a slight curve towards the sea at the top. I place my microphone on the pavement facing this structure and press record. http://www.simonsound.co.uk/blog/2022/11/9/sea-defence #soundscape #fieldrecording #soundstudies #shorehamport #seawall #sea

New field recording and journal entry - The Passage.
Often when I walk down this path I feel like I’m leaving one world and entering another, but today in the middle the two worlds blur, roaring sea trucks on slick wet roads. #shorehamport #fieldrecording http://www.simonsound.co.uk/blog/2022/11/3/the-passage-roaring-sea-trucks-on-slick-wet-roads
