Anna was lent a binaural microphone as part Electric Medway’s Test + Develop programme. She explored her local environment on foot for one hour a day during the Covid lockdowns of 2020 to create this immersive soundscape. ‘Somnambulist’ was included in the digital festival ‘Electric Medway’ and was broadcast as part of alt. radio festival ‘Radiophrenia’ at 1pm on 21st Nov. 2020.
