Episode 24 – The Soundscape
12 June 2023
In Episode 24 of the Knepp Wildland Podcast, we are joined by brilliant artist Hazel Reeves to hear how she has been inspired by the Knepp soundscape to extend her artistic practice beyond her studio.
Hours before many of our alarms go off, Hazel can be found sitting quietly in the Knepp Wildland, taking sound recordings of the dawn chorus and one of her favourite birds in particular: the Nightingale.
We talk about aberrant Nightingale songs, the joy of clattering White Stork bills, and how soundscape ecology can give us hope as we hear how the health of a landscape can be detected through the richness of sound.
To keep up to date with Hazel’s work and wildlife sound recordings, check out her website: www.hazelreeves.com and follow her on Instagram @hazelreevessculptor
