Joining forces with OTE, a non-profit group of storytellers and scientists who use the arts to help reconnect people with nature, we selected three artists to create unique outdoor performances using found natural sounds. Each of the artists – poets Suli Breaks and Amani Saeed, and folk musician Sam Lee – brought a unique perspective to the project. Sam recreated an old Sussex folk song, recording over a beat of found natural sounds, Amani explored her relationship with the outdoors having grown up in the New Jersey suburbs, and Suli Breaks reflects on how losing touch with nature disconnects us from ourselves, from social structures and chains of production.

Give two poets and a song collector creative license to make nature centre stage and this is what you get - three unexpected articles, complete with beautiful, cinematic films and unbelievable sounds...real moments in nature that give you a chance to relax and breathe in this busy, chaotic world of ours. I couldn't be more proud of the result.

It was a very meditative setting. I would love to film some more stuff there, just from a creative and cinematic perspective. But I like that when we’re filming and it starts raining, we all had to find a way to make things happen regardless, because nature is spontaneous and unpredictable.
