Recordist's notes
These recordings were made as part of my final project for my MA Music course at Oxford Brookes. For the project I recorded my back garden in Dorridge for 3 Minutes, every hour for 24 hours. I then used the audio as the basis for a study into the variety of sounds found in my garden. The results of the audio were also pieced together in chronological order to create a sound collage, telling the story of a day in the life of my back garden.
