The Soundscape

It’s Episode 24 and I’m joined by the brilliant artist, Hazel Reeves, to hear how she has been inspired by the Knepp soundscape to extend her artistic practice beyond her studio. 

Hours before many of our alarms go off Hazel can be found sitting quietly in the Knepp Wildland taking sound recordings of the dawn chorus and one of her favourite birds in particular: the Nightingale. 

We talk about aberrant Nightingale songs, the joy of clattering White Stork bills and how soundscape ecology can give us hope as we hear how the health of a landscape can be detected through the richness of sound.
