about
These field recordings were made from a bench in St Leonards Gardens in St Leonards-on-Sea during 2011, and are a record of the ambient, environmental sounds of birds, cars, and people that existed there for the brief moments I sat still and listened.
The raw recordings were then edited and layered to form a condensed 'sonic picture' built up from all different types of sounds that I had collected.
The artwork for the album was inspired by various illustrations of birds from 'The Birds of Britain and Europe' (Heinzel/Fitter/Parslow. Pub. Collins), available in all good Charity Shops... :)

REVIEWS:
"What Son Clair brings is a heightened experience, editing and layering his recordings to provide a level of authorship that just sitting on a bench doesn’t manage".
"In the same way that artists and sculptors of last century focussed attention on the everyday by placing items in a fresh context in a gallery, so the sound artists are doing now; taking them out of context and offering them up as a listening experience".
