Ear of the Edgeland Ep.4 / Albionsound by Eastern Ear

The third episode in the series finds us back on the rural railways, from Norwich to Lowestoft.

Commissioned by Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery 'Sebaldsound' acts as a complimentary audio piece to the 2019 exhibition 'Lines of Sight' about the artist W G Sebald.

In this episode 'Lines of Sight' curator Nick Warr talks to artist and academic Guy Moreton about the landscape, Sebald's life and work, whilst travelling on part of the journey featured in Sebald's much revered book 'The Rings of Saturn'.

Sebaldsound includes field recordings by Oliver Payne with 'Increasingly Absorbed In His Own World' and 'When the Dog Days Were Drawing To An End' composed by The Caretaker for his album 'Patience (After Sebald)'.

Breydonsound is the second in a series of podcasts taking an explorative and alternative look at the county of Norfolk.

This second episode features Gorleston based painter, Bruer Tidman in conversation with artist and writer, Sarah Lowndes in a bird hide overlooking Breydon Water.

The first part of Breydonsound focuses on the social history of the area, through stories and ideas emerging from Bruer's time spent living in and around Yarmouth, before the pair discuss the inherent magic and appeal of this landscape and the broads more widely.

Breydonsound features a recording of 'Goodbye Dad' by Yarmouth based, Jason Parr (recorded in new Yarmouth galelry, Ex Marks the Spot) and a piece taken from his most recent release 'Bubble and Squeak'.
