Sounds of the Earth
From sea-storm to bird-infused soundscapes, immerse yourself in the Slow Radio podcast.
Welcome to another Slow Radio podcast.
In this episode, there are the mesmerising sounds of storm Erik tearing through the rigging and halyards on the boats in Blyth harbour, Northumberland.
We glide to Ouse Washes in the Fenland country where Bewick's swans, coots, lapwings, reed buntings and skylarks fill the air with song.
And in the evening heavy seas of Gossabrough on Yell Island, Northern Shetland, there are eiders, Arctic terns, fulmars, skylarks and wrens.
The music includes Tom Waits鈥檚 No One Knows I鈥檓 Gone performed by The Unthanks, Troyte (Elgar鈥檚 evocation of a thunderstorm), Hoagy Carmichael鈥檚 Skylark, Alan Hovhaness鈥檚 Prayer of St. Gregory and Jim Ghedi鈥檚 folk masterwork Fortingall Yew.
