Samantha’s sound recordings in Sweden
UWE Fine Art student Samantha Davies used her 2019 Gane Travel Award to take part in a field trip to the Black River in Sweden where she joined naturalists Stefan Taylor and Kari Knight. During the trip Samantha acquired new levels of technical skill in the use of professional sound recording equipment and an appreciation of deep listening in a natural environment. The journey has inspired her to move her practise towards the field of sound and its potential impact on audiences.
