Chris Watson will follow with an introduction to his work and explore the possibilities and expectations for a field trip such as this, what challenges and opportunities there are, how to approach them and how to consider recording in the field as a part of a journey towards a composed piece of sound, with practical tips from his years of experience in working with sound for albums, radio, TV and film as well as multi-channel installations and live performances.
