Chris Watson Unwraps Spring – The Old Railway Path

Feature

In a new podcast for Nature Unwrapped, composer, sound recordist and Artist-in-Residence Chris Watson follows an overgrown railway path.

Chris follows the overgrown railway path between Aldeburgh and Saxmundham, a favourite haunt of composer Benjamin Britten, recording an array of elemental, animal and bird sounds, including the outpouring of a nightingale. The Old Railway Path was originally conceived as an installation in Hall One.

In response to the current situation Chris Watson has created a narrated podcast for the Kings Place audience.
