about

Birdbath is a collaboration between musician and researcher Alice Eldridge and meditation teacher Alistair Appleton. It is a simple idea: beautiful buildings are open to the public and filled with field recordings of birdsong. Visitors are invited to sit peacefully and bathe in the sound of birds, staying for as long or as little as they like.

Birdbath premiered at the 2018 Newhaven Festival in St Michael's Church and was presented again in 2019. Newhaven field recordings were made on the cliffs and woods around Newhaven Town, East Sussex in spring 2018 using a Wildlife Acoustics SM4. Approximate times and locations are as follows:

0 - 10 mins 03.00h Castle Hill Reserve
10 - 25 mins 04.00h Newhaven Community garden
25 - 35 mins 05.00h Castle Hill Reserve
35 - 45mins 21.00h Bollen's Bush Reserve
45 - 60mins 21.00h Bollen’s Bush Reserve

Many visitors to Birdbath Newhaven expressed an interest in listening to the birdsong at home, for meditation, relaxation or simple acoustic pleasure. This is for you.
