about

‘Watermarks’ explores in sound the mile-long stretch of coastline from Hastings to St. Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex, England. Recorded over a 2 month period, the man-made sounds of life and motion along the sea-front (including a celebratory parade along the waterfront, a fireworks display on the beach, a marching band and a wedding) are bookended with the constant, natural sound of the sea.

PRESS:
“Impulsive Habitat have certainly brought together an amazing collective of artists of the ‘pure’. It is too hard to pick just one from their catalog, but if I must then this must be the one. Son Clair is high on my fave-list where it comes to the field recordists”. (Vuzh Music www.vuzhmusic.com/blog/2011/01/16/best-of-2010-plus-mark-stolk/
