Additional Information
As part of the Help Nature Thrive project, I was invited to record sounds in The Royal Parks: Bushy Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, St James’s Park, The Regents Park and Richmond Park. The aim was to create a sound archive focusing on subaquatic sounds that capture how biodiverse each body of water is through the insects that can be heard. I worked with The Royal Parks to research species and create a series of Species Cue Cards with appropriate recording methods. Guest sound artists and aspiring field recordists were invited to join me to learn how to record underwater sound and how to create soundscape works to become a part of the sound archive.
I made two additional animation soundscapes to promote the project. The resulting work will be available via QR codes on park trails in 2024.
