I Like bits of trees and whatnot that i find on the floor. I like pinecones and all things associated with pinecones. I like Vagueness. I like Bricolage. I like thinking about the sounds in peoples pockets and in their shoes also. I like maps. I like getting lost. I like thunderstorms. I like not recording every interesting sound, or photographing every compelling object or scene that I hear or see.

ArtistSon Clair Title From the Bridge Duration 15'00 Date of Release 18th August 2009 Format zip · 35.4 MB
From the Bridge is an audio-montage of sounds recorded from the same location over an 18 hour period. The audio material was recorded on 4 separate mono channels and mixed in surround sound for optimum spatial representation.
Lovely sounds mister. Your field recordings give me a warm feeling, not unlike a hot water bottle.
I'm glad you're having a nice time in Wales, been recording lots of wonderful sounds? No job for me yet but I've been working on a couple of tracks, all fun stuff. Not missing london I bet!
If you're a local artist/musician, manager or promoter and you'd like to be more self-sufficient through your creative projects and you have a degree ... then why not try this new Masters course at the University of Bolton starting in September ...
