  • 302 Soundscenes of rolling thunder over the Pyrenees (possibly sleep safe)

    September 30, 2026 · 50 min

    Cicadas seem to go quiet when the rain sets in. They probably need to keep themselves dry to be able to make their sound. In this landscape recording we made in early August nearly all of the cicadas have stopped by about ten minutes. Then…

  • 301 Tide turned on the causeway (sleep safe)

    September 2, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min

    A soundscene of an island. Asleep. Between the tides. This passage of time is from a 2025 recording the Lento box made in Bigbury-on-Sea, tied to a palm tree facing onto the beach and out towards the island. It's the dead of night, 2am…

  • 300 Suffolk maize field in coastal breezes

    August 13, 2026 · 55 min

    As the land bakes under the hot August sun, the heat rises and so draws cooler air in from over the sea. The resulting breeze is always fresh, and can flow quite strongly even when it isn't windy anywhere else. And so this is how we found…

  • 299 Owls of Big Wood (sleep safe with owls)

    July 14, 2026 · 51 min

    Night woodland. Sonorous owls. Soft nocturnal breezes catching high in the broad-leafed trees. A panoramic woodland in spatial sound, collected by the Lento box alone. Always so fascinating to us is how the natural world sounds at night…

  • 298 Thunderstorm over sonorous rural woodland (warning - sudden shock thunderclaps)

    June 20, 2026 · 1 hr 33 min

    Last month on the evening of 26 May a huge lightning storm centred over a remote wooded area on the Leicestershire-Rutland border where we had left the Lento box alone to record. From where we were staying about three quarters of a mile…

  • 297 Sonorous rural woodland before an approaching storm

    June 2, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min

    Last week we took the Lento box to capture the natural soundscapes of rural Leicestershire and Rutland. Our visit coincided with the warmest May temperatures on record and as it turned out the most powerful thunderstorms we'd ever…

  • 296 Looking out on Portland Harbour part 2

    May 11, 2026 · 45 min

    Here beneath the tree again, at the water's edge. Looking out on Portland Harbour. Left of scene the sunlit parapets of Nothe Fort. Ahead the flat sun-drenched sea, with lazy waves rolling in over half exposed rocks. Right of scene are…

  • 295 Low tide on the causeway - part II (sleep safe with occasional herring gulls and oyster catchers)

    April 16, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min

    A soundscene, of an island. Asleep. Between the tides. About this time last year we visited Burgh Island in Devon on the south west coast of England. We made two long-form overnight recordings while we were there. Burgh Island is reached…

  • 294 Dawn in Shelve Wood Shropshire with cuckoo

    March 21, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min

    The moment we entered Shelve Wood we knew it was a perfect place to record. Shropshire is sparsely populated. There's only one B road in the Shelve Wood area. The country lanes carry little traffic, and on the day we were on-location the…

  • 293 Pools of Rye Harbour (sleep safe)

    March 2, 2026 · 1 hr 0 min

    The Lento box records alone, tied to a tree, behind thickets of gorse. The night hours pass. The microphones capture the panoramic peace of this wild coastal landscape. Rye Harbour Nature Reserve on the East Sussex coast. The tree holding…

  • 292 Moorland trees in December gales - Derbyshire (sleep safe after owls at start)

    February 12, 2026 · 1 hr 0 min

    Exposed moorland trees create a strong natural source of undulating white noise when shouldering the brunt of a winter gale. The sounds they produce are uniquely enchanting  and an absolute delight to experience. For us it's the beating…

  • 291 High tide turning - the Crouch Estuary in Essex (sleep safe)

    February 1, 2026 · 49 min

    The waves settle into wavelets. The wavelets settle to calm. Then it's just the pure sound of estuary emptiness, at night. Following on from episode 288 it's several hours later, about 4 in the morning, and the tide has finally turned…
