Overview

Scottish Borders: Coastal showcases the wild spirit of the North Sea coast throughout spring, summer, fall, and winter. Thoughtfully recorded and curated by BAFTA-winning sound artist and composer Chris Watson (Frozen Planet, Secret World of Sound With David Attenborough), each of these handpicked ambiences tells a story of its own, conveying a sense of intimacy and immersion that is both specific and timeless.

Full of life and free of manmade sounds (except for a set of recordings made at Dunstanburgh castle), these soundscapes showcase the multifaceted character and incredible biodiversity of this folkloric biome. Seaside ambiences capture waves crashing against cliffs and lapping at beaches, the pre-dawn stillness of coastal salt marshes, and the rustling of kelp forests at low tide. The chorus of wildlife includes flocks of seabirds, singing grey seal colonies, and hard-to-find sounds like the underwater snapping of pistol shrimp captured with a hydrophone. Channel the deep, dark history of The Borders region to transport your audience to new dimensions, both real and mythical.
