One of my field recordings was selected by artist Miyu Hosoi for Observatory Station; a new sound installation that will travel the globe over the next five years.

Created with the help of Cities and Memory, Hosoi's Observatory Station opened in May 2025 at the multi-sensory Feel the Sound exhibition at the Barbican, London, before moving on to Japan later in the year.

Miyu Hosoi writes that: “Observatory Station is an evolving archive of field recordings that explores how sound connects people, places, and time. Each sound used in the work includes metadata such as the location and recorded time, which are essential to how the piece invites listeners to imagine the world through listening.”

The recording I submitted was made at 11:35am on the 28th August 2024, and was recorded on location in the village of Holbrook, Suffolk UK.
