This study explores the practice of "soundtalking," a novel method of participant-led sound practice, within the environment and soundscape of the Dee Estuary in the UK. Over the course of twelve months, the Our Dee Estuary Project facilitated monthly meetings where participants engaged in in-depth discussions and sound-making activities, fostering a deeper connection with both their local and auditory environments.
Throughout my recording and soundscape career, I've explored various (if not all!) recording methods to capture the sound worlds which surround us. However, binaural recording has always held a special place in my heart, since I read about it being used as a recording technique in Sound On Sound sometime in the mid-1990s about Tchad Blake .
In 2023, I set myself another creative challenge for the year, this was the fifth time I have worked on either a daily or weekly yearly challenge. For 2023, I choose a weekly creation task for a number of reasons. Primarily, like all of these challenges, it is to keep working, focusing and creating new material. I also used this project as an opportunity. to develop skills and understanding of how I could push technology, in particular digital workstations (both video and audio ) and capture devices (camera and recording devices).
