I. Ocean furrows II. The liquid skin of story  III. Island protecting waves "What are the living sonic expressions inherited from our ancestors? This question came to me when I read the definition of ‘intangible cultural heritage' on the UNESCO website. The field recording I chose from the Fisherman's Wharf in Santa Cruz in the Galapagos Islands, is, in the words of Josué Jaramillo, ‘a unique polyphony, where work, culture and wildlife converge in an imperfect but very human harmony'. Listening to the recording, I was mesmerised by the sound of the ‘knives sliding on whetstones', as well as the daily conversations and the flowing of sounds into each other. Watching videos of the wharf online, I was transfixed by the seabirds, iguanas and sea lions that waited patiently for -or simply took- their fair share of the fish meat.  "Researching Ecuadorian folk music, I came across ‘Taita Quishpe', a song about the love felt by an indigenous agriculturalist towards their ‘chakrita', the small plot of land which provides for them and soothes them like the sound of the ‘rondador', the national instrument of Ecuador. I thought of the ocean around the Galapagos Islands as one giant chakrita, and the very particular relationship islanders have with the sea, its deep and shifting waters.  "This provoked me to explore my own heritage as a British-Greek person. The first thing that came to my mind was the Odyssey, the epic rhapsody of the eponymous hero's perilous journey of return. Thinking about the waters of heritage and story, I was reminded of the evasive figure of Proteus, the shapeshifting old man of the sea, transforming himself into ‘a lion, a serpent, a leopard, a boar, rushing water, a mighty tree'. I felt that across the ages this is also what stories do.  "The next thing that came to mind was the Met Office's shipping forecast, that spell-like, reliable, life-saving transmission. This spell led to thinking about other spells, about the fate of ancient traditions that were lost, only to be remade in modern form, such as the animistic traditions of Druidry and its flowing spirit of inspiration, or Awen.  "The soundscape hopefully evokes something of this imaginative journey, taking the original field recording itself as a point of departure. My idea has been to dissolve boundaries, to express the movement of waves and to allow for the invisible radiophonic liquidity that we are all part of to emerge; it seems to me that both through tangible and intangible waters, all our different islands might be connected, and perhaps that sonic currents of our heritage are always travelling to shores much further than we think." Sounds:  Ocean furrows:  • Extracts from the original field recording (unedited and edited)  • Sample from ‘Taita Quishpe', Gloria Haro y conjunto folklorico, from ‘El Canto dela Raza', 1969  The liquid skin of story:  • Extract from ‘The Odyssey', Rhapsody 4, Homer, read in Modern Greek by Veroniki Krikoni and in Spanish by Christos Siorikis  • Field recording at Parkland Walk, London. Voice: Chris Sakellaridis; harmonium: Öztan Aydin-Corbett; birds, passers-by  Island protecting waves: • Met Office, Shipping forecast (archive, January 2021), read by Chris Sakellaridis • Field recording, Spring Equinox Ceremony, Tamesis Order of Bards and Druids Group, Primrose Hill  • Field recording, the River Thames, Rotherhithe Beach Santa Cruz, Islas Galápagos soundscape reimagined by Chris Sakellaridis. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

Send us a textThe weather played its part in the Great War, perhaps in more ways than first imagined.  The Great War lasted over 1500 days, and over 600 saw rain on the Western Front.  The winter of 1914 saw torrential rain and temperatures drop to -10 in France, and the autumn of 1917 in Flanders saw four months' worth of rainfall in just 33 days. London's Met Office offered to help at the outbreak of war, but a terse telegram from GHQ rebuffed this offer.  However, the increased use of aircraft and poison gas quickly made senior command understand the importance of meteorology, and the Meteorological Service of the Royal Engineers soon started providing masses of valuable data.Who were these men, and what did they do? In this episode, we look at the work of "Meteor" HQ and their vital role as the war progressed. Support the podcast:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/footstepsbloghttps://www.patreon.com/footstepsofthefallen

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 6ú lá de mí Eanair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1982 stop na mbád farantóireachta Sealink. Stop siad de bharr go raibh siad ag iarradh stop a chur le níos mó ná leath de na seoltóireacht chuig an Bhreatain. I 1991 bhí droch Nollaig ag an tír le a lán sneachta agus báisteach agus níos mó stoirm I rith an deireadh seachtain. Dúirt an Met Office go mbeadh níos mó sneachta ann agus go mbeadh sé an-fhuair. I 1991 cheap Sylvie Dwyer mar cheannfort Nua I gCill Rois. Tháinig sé I gceannas nuair a stop Tim Leahy ag obair. I 1998 bhí a lán damáiste déanta chuig an chúirt scuaise in Inis. Bhí damáiste ann de níos mó ná 1,000 punt. Thóg siad an méadar ESB as an bhalla agus bhris siad a lán fuinneoige agus doirse. Sin ABBA le One Of Us, an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1982. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2001 bhuaigh giotáraí ó Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, na cearta don ainm dot com. Chuaigh David chuig na cúirte chun an t-ainm davidgilmour.com a fháil ar ais ó Andrew Herman a fuair an URL agus bhí sé ag díol earraí Pink Floyd ar an suíomh gréasáin. I 2017 tháinig an Iorua amach go bheidís an chéad tír sa domhain chun stop a chur le FM raidió. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh imreoir saccar Paul McShane I gCill Mhantáin I 1986 agus rugadh aisteoir Rowan Atkinson sa Bhreatain I 1955 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.

Storm Bert continued to bring disruption into Monday after as winds over 80mph and torrential downpours caused “devastating” flooding over the weekend.Five people are believed to have died in the storm and around 160 flood alerts remain in place across England and Wales, where a council leader was among those criticising the Met Office for not upgrading the storm from a yellow to red alert.The Standard podcast is joined by Heather Shepherd, a flood recovery specialist and consultant.In part two, The London Standard's City Hall editor Ross Lydall on mayor Sadiq Khan's hiring plans for some very well remunerated jobs - one paying an almost £100,000 salary - to help him seize control of Oxford Street to create a “commercial model” and help envision his pedestrianisation plans.
