The Age of Twilight - an incidental soundscape by sanderson & sanderson, which I helped out with. The piece is inspired by the landscape of Sutton Hoo and Wuffinga-land, and features field recordings of a red deer rut on Westleton Heath.

Martincross, the house in Sheringham where Ralph Vaughan Williams lived in 1919. Ernest Shackleton used to live there too, as did the author and dramatist Patrick Hamilton, though not at the same time.

The autumnal equinox is one of the melancholic corners of the year - the summer’s over, the nights are getting longer, and the beer’s getting darker - and there’s sense of time slipping away. This is a piece I recorded a few years about how we mark out the passing of time over the span of our lives.

Castlerigg Stone Circle in the Lake District, photographed using a 1953 Elioflex camera. The site probably served a religious and social function - a high place to be nearer to the old gods perhaps, and also close to a neolithic axe factory.

This was taken a long time ago, but if my memory serves me right it’s the interior of Nether Largie South cairn at Kilmartin Glen. It’s a wonderful place…
