Better Songs is Leeds based audio collective Rosie Parsons and Verity Watts. We work together and independently to tell stories in new ways, falling between the cracks of sound art, music, journalism and turntablism.

A 25 minute soundwalk, with narration, that can be listened to in any location - ideally in a forest.

A slow walk, with additional music by Lau Nau & narration, guiding you through some of the internal sounds of the Forest of Dean (UK) such as sap, bark, xylem cells, tree & plant roots, moss & mycorrhizal networks.

Using highly sensitive microphones of his own design & innovative techniques, sound artist Jez riley French guides us through the fascinating, immense microscopic soundscape of plants and soil horizons. The process asks us to reconsider our ideas of such environments, and indeed our human concepts of nature itself.
