The Making of Charnia Masoni

Found Sounds of Charnwood Forest (2024)
Part One: The Making of Charnia Masoni
Composer Tom Hill talks about his personal journey and inspirations behind his piece, Charnia Masoni
In August 2024, participants were led by artists Tom Hill, Karl Saddler and Marshall Fairbrother on a tour of Charnwood Forest to capture natural environmental sounds using various forms of audio equipment, ranging from specialist microphones to simple smartphone applications.
The captured audio was later edited to compose musical soundscapes, enabling the listener to access and connect with the natural beauty of Charnwood Forest through the medium of sound and music, promoting wellbeing and the positive health benefits associated with being in nature.
The collected audio clips will be made available in November to anyone who wishes to use them to create their own soundscapes and be added to our website for distribution via our SoundCloud account. Watch this space!
