Chris Watson Radio 3’s Composers’ Rooms

For the last Composers’ Rooms in the series, Sara Mohr-Pietsch visits sound recordist Chris Watson in his workspace, not an indoors studio but the acoustically rich environment of the Kielder Forest in Northumberland. As they walk through different sonic spaces Chris tells Sara about the art of listening, demonstrates his techniques for capturing birdsong, and talks about sharing his solitary experience with a wider audience.
