The Norfolk Geology Series

sound recorder and flint
The Norfolk Geology Series (commenced Summer 2024) is an ongoing series of works about the geology of the county I now call home. Young in comparison to that of northern and western Britain the county does still contain a wealth of geology (both bedrock and superficial) that I feel inspired to make work about … the rich, dark beauty of Fen and Broadland peat; the brilliant white of a chalk pebble sitting amongst grass; the hard, mysterious presences of flint; the glacial but workaday Crag. Some geology immediately inspires sounds, others lend colour (literally), sometimes it will be about the formation or destruction of the geology … the processes of layering, folding, erosion …

Originally intended as a purely sound-based series there will now be responses in other media. I’ve already started exploring folded structures and paper-based works. I will add images here as they appear …

Soundworks can be found in an emergent album on my Bandcamp page.
