Salcombe Regis

In October we went for a walk along the coast starting and ending at Salcombe Regis. On route we passed a secluded (and deserted) beach, which we subsequently learned was a naturist beach! I made a recording while climbing down the steps to the beach.Unfortunately my microphone picked up activity from my mobile phone part way through - hence the presence of some rough edits.

University of Exeter Outdoor swimming pool

A sunny afternoon at the University of Exeter outdoor swimming pool. These are my favourite recordings for a while. There are some hilarious little snippets of conversation to be heard amongst the splashing of divers.

Exeter Continental Market

The continental market comes to Exeter a few times a year, and recently it coincided with Exeter's Summer Festival. Anyway, this was a good opportunity to go out sound-hunting.

Jali Suso - Kora player

This was another performer I saw at the Exeter Respect Festival, playing the Kora. He was accompanied by two youngsters on guitar, which I thought a bit incongruous at the time but I really think the combination of instruments worked.

Recorded on 7th August 2006

Turkish Music at the Phoenix

On the weekend of 8 July, the Exeter Phoenix hosted the annual Respect Festival. Among the many performers was a guy playing Turkish folk songs on a Saz. I found the sound of the instrument and the vocal melodies hypnotic and compelling.
