Podcast episode

199 Moorland forest mid winter gales: (Hello if you are new here! We're a different type of podcast. Here's a few tips about how to get the most out of listening to Radio Lento.) Twilight's coming. And a storm. To be half way up a lonely Peak District moor, off the puddled track, looking...

Podcast episode

Night shallowing in a Suffolk Wood - listen with headphones (sleep safe): This is part eight, 3am to 4am of the twelve hour Suffolk Wood recording. We made it almost four years ago on a balmy summer night in August by leaving a pair of sensitive microphones spaced out like ears, to record non-stop in the heart of an uninhabite...

Podcast episode

Quiet field by Young Wood: It took several miles, over claggy east Hertfordshire footpaths and a waterlogged bridleway, to find a quiet field. A peaceful spot where the susurrations of the natural landscape outweigh that of the distant A10. To break our winter walk, we came off th...

Podcast episode

203 Dartmoor stream above waterfall gorge (part 2): Below a stone circle high on Dartmoor called the Nine Maidens, there's a stream. It threads its way down through steep sloping pastures. In the distance, just a fine, silvery, crooked line. It enters an area of dense forest. Becomes enmeshed with the...

Podcast episode

Sound-scenes of Norman's Pond as dusk turns to night - sleep safe: Dusk. The gates of the Lee Valley Park are shut. The people are gone. The miles of footpaths are empty, save for crossing ducks. Beside Norman's Pond, hidden in the scrub, the dark bush crickets have begun. Gulls cry out. On tepid summer water, swans are...

Podcast episode

113 Spring’s here in mild valley: Sheltered against the gnarled trunk of an old holly tree, beside a country lane, the microphones are recording. Or maybe to them, they are looking. Looking out, as they have done for hours, at this mild valley, in sound.  From this tree, the valley stret...

Podcast episode

109 Here at the river’s edge: Now you're here, unhook the burden, and let it rest upon the wild grass. Walk away. Away from it, and down, onto the rocks. Away, and over the wetted stones, around the weeds that smell of sea, and right up to the river's edge. The rushing edge of the Cr...

Podcast episode

Tidal water mirror still - a sound view from Canvey Island: A bird calls out. Its cry carries far out over the water on this, a rare day of no wind. Not even a breeze or a whisper of leaves in the trees. Cows low from farmland on the floodplain beside the Thames Estuary. From a hidden nest, little birds flutter i...

Podcast episode

162 Waterfall gorge on Dartmoor (high definition spatial sound): When a rushing torrent cascades, down a precipitous rocky gorge. When the intensity of the white noise is so brilliant on your ears, that it feels like acoustic sunshine.You know you're here. When the waterfall's rumble is almost completely absorbed ...

Podcast episode

107 Shellness bleak where land meets sea (best heard with time and headphones): This, is bleak. Wave, weather worn, bleak. Windswept, land end bleak. What we've come for. An exposed area of land that noses out into the North Sea. Its tidal zones are made of bleached dry shells instead of sand. Of saline rotted timbered fences, some ...

96 A blustery day begins on inland tidal water (headphones): When we set up to record, there were no signs of the weather front. It was late evening. Low tide. We'd followed the path East along the river out of Burnham-on-Crouch and come across a Second World War armament, a pillbox, overgrown and derelict, beside...

Podcast episode

187 Steam train stops at country station: You strode up to this field, through lush meadow, for a better view over Arley station. And now you're here. It's a perfect Shropshire August day. Blue sky. Light breezes. Hot sun on your back. Nearly time you think looking up into the sky, far right...

Podcast episode

Suffolk Wood (part 6) - 1am to 2am sleep safe with owls: All is still in the wood. It is mid-way through a barmy August night. There is no breeze to rustle the trees. Dark bush crickets trichit the passage of time on crickle-dry carpets of leaves. Carried clear over the surrounding fields, the bell of Saint Ma...

Podcast episode

Light rain beside the lane near Sandy: It's all woods and rolling fields in rural Bedfordshire. Good for long walks under wide skies. A chance to get away from it all. On a wet February day, after splashing along muddy lanes and mud sliding footpaths, after passing a pair of Anderson shelters...

Daydream 1 (a series of short August adventures): Begin, by a country church on the hills above Harlow in Essex, and at the foot of a jovial fir tree, hushed by warm wind. It's a sunny afternoon and a blackbird is singing in the secluded churchyard of St Mary's, Gilston. Wood pigeons are sunning their w...

Podcast episode

The balm of warm woodland in late summer: Locked-down and nowhere to go. With pounded pavements all pounded, and back gardens beleaguered under pallid skies so dull sodden with wet, it's hard to remember the feeling of travelling out of London to walk free through a forest in barmy summer heat. ...

Podcast episode

99 High in the hills amongst snow laden trees - Christmas special: We always try to make a recording in the landscape after it's just snowed. It's so quiet. And the quiet is palpable. The effect is unique and wonderful, and is down to the way freshly fallen snow absorbs sound. By absorbing it so well though, there is vi...

130 Dartmoor stream above waterfall gorge - hydrotherapeutic + sleep safe *Summer Recap Series starts next week - see below*: After an hour's steep upward toil, through a thickly wooded gorge and along some very precipitous granite rock formations, you reach a wooden footbridge. Here the landscape's totally changed. Just dense bracken, a rough winding path, all slanted steeply ...

Podcast episode

137 Night rains amongst moorland trees (sleep safe): Up a soily slope, almost too steep to climb, nestled in against the smooth trunk of a tree, the microphones are recording. Recording the sound of solitude.  Dry inside their weatherproof box. Listening, carefully. Witnessing, faithfully, the moments ...

204 Rain falls on steep craggy woodland (sleep safe): Fresh rain. Fresh woodland rain, from Miller's Dale in Derbyshire. From a hedgehog's perspective.

Spring in Hieron 01: The Touch of Others: It is still winter, yet. Months ago, the heat and the dark emerged from the long sands of Rosemerrow, bringing terror and destruction to Hieron. And though the sun has returned, and though the vicious blizzard that battered the North West has...

104 While away in winter woodland (a clear mind special): December is a very quiet month for natural sound out here in the walkable wilderness. Wind moaning in the telegraph wires, and rain spattering into flooded puddles. And when you reach them, the woods, down long lanes and a muddy footpath, the song birds ...
