Chris Watson - "The Wire"

I love the work of wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson - but even better is hearing him talk about his passion.

So the preview in the latest Time Out has certainly whetted my appetite...

SUNDAY 02 Jan 2011
The Wire
1.30-2.00/R4

Wildlife sound-recordist Chris Watson meets artist/scientist Alan Lamb, who has been fascinated all his life with the sounds that telegraph wires stretched across the landscape make when they are 'played' by the wind. He has worked with abandoned wires across Australia and installed new structures to produce music, recording what he hears, and researching of auditory perception. A fascinating subject, and perfect radio material.
