Scientists, conservationists and other researchers are using audio soundscapes in innovative ways to record the natural world in rich detail and help develop strategies to preserve it. Gaia Vince visits the Dear Earth exhibition at London's Southbank Centre where she interacts with the ‘Tell It To The Birds' artwork by Jenny Kendler. This piece transforms spoken word into birdsong, which Jenny hopes will help raise awareness of threatened species. She is joined by Dr Patricia Brekke from the Zoological Society of London who reveals more about the threats faced by birds. We then visit the Knepp Estate to meet ecologist Penny Green, who reveals more about the value of audio for her work. Gaia then speaks to Dr Alice Eldridge, an acoustics expert from the University of Sussex, who has spearheaded the Wilding Radio project at the Knepp Estate in Sussex. She was curious to find out whether the sounds in the environment would change following the introduction of beavers to the estate. In collaboration with arts cooperative Soundcamp, she built high-quality, solar-powered equipment to continuously broadcast the soundscape from above and below the water. While we can record animals which we currently share the world with, what about those that have been lost forever? Cheryl Tipp, the British Library's curator of wildlife and environmental sounds, looks after the library's audio collection of more than 250,000 species and habitat recordings. She shares the heartbreaking tale of a now-extinct bird and explains why sound is such a valuable resource. Finally, Dr Tim Lamont, a marine biologist from Lancaster University, tells us why a degraded coral reef sounds different from a healthy one. He explains how broadcasting the sounds of a healthy reef can help attract more marine wildlife to an area.

Hannah Kemp-Welch is a sound artist with a social practice. She creates works collaboratively and in community settings, often responding to social issues. Recent projects include ‘The Right to Record' (2021) - a creative campaign with disabled activists, which successfully lobbied the Government to change a harmful clause within the benefits system; ‘Meet Me on the Radio' (2020-21) - a weekly Resonance FM programme co-produced with elders isolated during lockdown; and ‘o-o-radio!' (2023) - a project at Wysing Arts Centre, constructing homemade radios with d/Deaf young people, to better understand how hearing aids operate. Hannah has a particular interest in transmission arts - she experiments with DIY radios and produces zines to make these technologies accessible. She is a member of feminist radio art group Shortwave Collective and arts cooperative Soundcamp, and has produced works for Radio Art Zone (2022), Movement Radio (2022), and Radiophrenia (2020-22). In this episode Owen Kelly makes a genuine inquiry into the possible interfaces between feminism and ham radio.
Why are canal boats and traditional canal-ware so colourful? When did the custom of painting working boats in bright colours begin and why? This week we explore our attraction to bright colours and what Tom Rolt describes as the ‘working boaters' inborn gypsy love of colours.'Journal entry:25th April, Monday"Heavy grey clouds, ragged and torn drift overhead.Two women sit cross-legged on their cabin roof.A blackbird scissor the sky above forest green conifers.A hint of Earl-Grey tea. Two dandelions fierce in their growling yellows.There is something freeing about dark skies like these.The water shivers in the skittering breeze."

Composer and sound artist Rob Mackay traces the migratory route of the monarch butterfly, from the Great Lakes in Canada to the forests of Mexico, via the shifting coastal landscape of the eastern shores of Virginia. Along the route of this sonic road-movie Rob meets people working to protect this extraordinary species: Darlene Burgess, a conservation specialist monitoring butterfly populations on the shores of Lake Eerie; Nancy Barnhart, coordinating the monarch migration programme for the Coastal Virginia Wildlife Observatory at Kiptopeke State Park, where we also encounter composer Matthew Burtner, whose sonifications of data from the local seagrass beds help track changes in the monarch's environment; and butterfly expert Pablo Jaramillo-López giving a tour of the Sierra Chincua and Cerro Pelón reserves in Mexico. We also hear reflections from the late Lincoln Brower, the American entomologist whose legacy has inspired many of today's research and conservation efforts. The programme features Rob Mackay's binaural field recordings, and audio from live stream boxes, set up in partnership with the ecological art and technology collective SoundCamp to monitor the monarch's changing habitats. Plus Rob’s own flute playing, recorded in the Mexican forest meadows with David Blink on handpan and trumpet, alongside poetry in Spanish about the monarch by Rolando Rodriguez.
Reform Radio have been working in partnership with Thirty Pound Gentleman, on Soundcamp 2020. Funded by Youth Music Charity, the programme aims to develop 12 musicians aged 18 - 25, who may have had barriers to accessing this high level music based training previously. As a response to 2020's global pandemic we thought it was an important measure to discuss the devastating impact that Covid has had on the gig economy and in particular freelance artists and musicians. We brought together a variety of emerging and established artists to a virtual roundtable discussion to share information and experiences, to help us better navigate the current situation.

Few mixes will floor you like this particular one for Wild City by Andi Teichmann. Andi is a well-known and accomplished musician, producer, DJ, cultural activist, and co-founder of Berlin-based label NOLAND. Both as Gebrüder Teichmann – his project with this brother Hannes – and solo, he is known for work that surpasses the limitations of genre or style. Andi's mix was inspired by a DJ set he played at Popkultur Festival in Berlin last year, as well as his music-related travel and work across Germany, Africa and South Asia, largely in collaboration with Goethe Institut. The mix thus traverses time, space, culture and ideas. Subsequently, most tracks on the mix (several of which are NOLAND releases) offer fascinating cultural dialogue, commentary and history. DJ Raph sparks a beguiling dialogue between contemporary electronic music and African echoes of a pre-colonial time by using sounds from Chad, and a funeral procession by the West African Senufo people on 'The Boy From Digenenthi' and 'Earthstep' respectively. 'Good Morning Karachi' was the result of 12 people jamming in Karachi over 2 weeks at Soundcamp Karachi 2015, while the last track on the mix, 'Fear Nothing', is dedicated to Sabine Mahmoud, a fiery art and human rights activist in Pakistan who was assassinated shortly before Soundcamp. A track by homegrown producer KALAB features on the mix as well, beside 'Ten Cities', which was born from a Goethe project that aimed to explore and connect subcultural scenes in African and European cities. The mix itself covers a vast musical spectrum ranging from deep ambient music from Germany to avant-garde jazz from Africa to experimental electronic from South Asia. A deep synthetic, drone-like atmosphere and an aura of ambient electronic sounds cloak majority of the other-worldly hour-long-mix; a percussive disposition floods the second half. Genres or styles don't matter here – the only defining quality of this set is experimental obscurity. Mixed with such absolute mastery, it's nearly impossible to discern the transitions between tracks on this mix. It’s a contoured wall of meandering sounds with no perceivable destination or ending, that one must simply give in to. We would go as far as describing this as an immersive, sensory experience, rather than a collection of tracks.

Tony Whitehead works for the RSPB and runs regular dawn chorus walks. He is also a sound recordist, specialising in recording nature, particularly bird song. After a dawn chorus walk as part of Soundcamp 2017 on the Dartington Estate, we sat under a tree to talk bird song, imagination and the need for quiet.
On the weekend of International Dawn Chorus Day, I attended Soundcamp on the Dartington Estate. After listening to a stunning dawn chorus, I talked to Tony Whitehead, ornithologist and sound engineer, who led the walk, and also to Shelley, Robert and Laura who joined me on the walk.

Toronto based Pakistani musician Ramsha Shakeel’s mix for Wild City features an evocative range of ambient, drone tailored to melt away the bustle of daily life. Ramsha has been on our radar ever since the release of her beautiful 2015 debut EP ‘Daastanemarg’. Summer time that year also saw the producer take part in a two week long music residency in Karachi called Soundcamp, which was initiated by production duo Gebrüder Teichmann. Artists from Gerrmany and Pakistan came together and transformed a regular house in the area into a fully stocked makeshift studio equipped with wires, cables, drum machines, synths and more. The aim of Soundcamp was to create a collaborative album together, which was to be the inaugural release by the Teichman brothers newly-formed label NOLAND. The resulting album, called ‘Karachi Files’ finally came out last month. Ramsha is one of the most interesting producers to come out of Pakistan right now. For Wild City mix #110, the producer takes us on an emotional journey through some of the finest ambient, experimental and classical contemporary music today by artists including Austrian musician Fennesz, Canadian noise and drone artist Time Hecker and Lithuanian experimental act The Picturesque Episodes. Ramsha’s mix also includes an incredible live performance of ‘Lobby’ by The Kilimanjaro Dark Jazz Ensemble as well as the main theme of point and click browser game Samorost, composed by Floex. Clocking in at just over half an hour, this mix is meant to transport your mind away from the commotion of city life. Listen on a good pair of headphones.
