As the Season Turns

For July, we’ve arrived by the sea - strolling along the rocky shore to find fossils at our feet, while swifts and swallows whisk along the sand. The rockpools burst with anemones and crabs, and we forage for seaweed along the tidelines. Lisa Knapp sings goodbye to the cuckoo, soon to fly from these shores.

For June, Alice travels to Swanage in Dorset to meet the songwriter and composer Muco. Together they take a walk through Studland Woods, where he spent time as a child, reflecting on the influence of his mother and father on his love of words, his passion for old and middle English and his love of interpreting stories and folklore from Burundian and English traditions. As they walk Muco plays folk songs with the Inanga to bring in the Summer. Found Sounds are sonic scrapbooks of field recordings and interviews with people keeping heritage crafts alive.

This June we’re by the creek, trying not to get stuck in the rich mud as we forage for samphire and other salty snacks. In the water there are eels, travelling just one stage of their incredible life cycles, and above it flit dragon- and damselflies, and bright blue demoiselles. The rising wind whispers old tales - and a midsummer’s love song that calls on us to get outside.
