Immersive residencies centred on field recording, ecological listening, writing, and interdisciplinary practice. Three formats are available, each offering a different balance of mentoring, studio time, and independent exploration in the landscape.
Residencies run between March and October. You can check available dates using the calendar below, or get in touch if you have specific timings in mind. Short stays, longer residencies, and bespoke arrangements are all possible depending on the season and studio schedule.
