Watermarks by Son Clair
‘Watermarks’ explores in sound the mile-long stretch of coastline from Hastings to St. Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex, England. Recorded over a 2 month period, the man-made sounds of life and motion along the sea-front (including a celebratory parade along the waterfront, a fireworks display on the beach, a marching band and a wedding) are bookended with the constant, natural sound of the sea.

“Impulsive Habitat have certainly brought together an amazing collective of artists of the ‘pure’. It is too hard to pick just one from their catalog, but if I must then this must be the one. Son Clair is high on my fave-list where it comes to the field recordists”. (Vuzh Music http://www.vuzhmusic.com/blog/2011/01/16/best-of-2010-plus-mark-stolk/

Son Clair ('Clear Sound') is the ongoing field-recording/environmental sound project of artist and musician Thom Carter.
Inspired by the immediate, everyday and extraordinary noises that are all around us, each album of recordings centers around a particular location or place and presents the audio from it as a site-specific sonic portrait.
