This piece is composed from my field recordings walking on the beach at low tide and readings of letters from Bexhill Museum archives, layered together with sound effects to bring to life a part of our eroding coastline and an archive which lies quietly unearthed.
Julian Porter, Rother Museums’ curator found photographs and letters in the Bexhill Museum archives relating to the forest, which Actor and Theatre Producer Leigh Shine, read for me in a recording session.
I hope the piece creates a spirit of place, a sense of timelessness and ever evolving change. The magical experience of walking through thousands of years of human and environmental ebb and flow.
