Sam Lee & Axel Wild
A Narrated journey into the Nightingale's World in 360° spatial audio
Let folksinger and naturalist Sam Lee and Axel Wild, nature-sound-recordist and spatial audio maestro, take you on a narrated journey into the many worlds of the rarest of birds.
For millennia, the Nightingale has been a cultural, folkloric, poetic and mythic icon whose nightsong has enchanted bards and artists alike. Discover the extraordinary lifecycle and character of this most forgotten of singers through exquisite surround sound field and ethnographic recordings coupled with tales of our human relationship to the land, as channelled through this now critically endangered species.
At Polygon Portal, that experience reaches its fullest expression – the sound wrapping around you in breathtaking 360º spatial audio, like nothing you’ve heard before.
The ‘in forest version’ of Singing With Nightingales runs from April to June in woods in Sussex and Bedfordshire.
