Welcome to the world behind Nighttime on Still Waters
All set up and ready to go for the next episode of Nighttime on Still Waters!
The study on the Erica which is where I do all the recordings.
The study stove (keeps me warm through winter!) and steps up to stern hatch
One of my most treasured possessions; my writing box for notes, recording records (and one of our swans' wing feathers)
Our first director (of just about everything!): Penny
(Sadly, although she is no longer physically with us, she is always here in spirit)
Maggie has gallantly and selflessly stepped into the breach and has taken over the directorial role.
She can sometimes be heard in the background squeaking toys, noisily drinking water and creating sundry bangs and thuds
Maggie always likes to be at the heart of things
A bit of research with the trusty help of the Rev. Keble Martin (Summer 2021)
Catching the last of the evening sun on Erica's roof while jotting down some notes.
Field recording insects and bees (Summer 2021)
More research (honestly!)
Early ideas and notes for the podcast (2019). Mapping out different formats. In its earliest stages, Donald Fagen's 'The Nightfly' was a huge influence and inspiration.
