What does a garden sound like?

A workshop dedicated to listening to a garden - in this case Quex Gardens, near Birchington. The goal was to encourage participants to experience how sound can enhance the way we connect to nature, by listening intently and discovering the hidden sounds of the garden.

Organised by Rosie Carr and myself, the session took participants around the grounds, and allowed them to listen using different equipment: omni and unidirectional microphones, hydrophones, contact microphones, and a couple of devices which use the plants’ electrical current to modulate a synthesis engine.
