Wild Track is an exploration of birdsong and the ways in which that
sound was conveyed, described and responded to through text, prior to
the advent of recording and broadcast technologies in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries. Street links sound aesthetics, radio,
natural history, and literature to explore how the brain and
imagination translate sonic codes as well as the nature of the silent
sound we "hear" when we read a text. This creates an awareness of
sound through the tuned attention of the senses, learning from sound
texts of the natural world that sought – and seek – to convey the
intensity of the sonic moment and fleeting experience. To absorb these
lessons is to enable a more highly interactive relationship with sound
and listening, and to interpret the subtleties of audio as a means of
expression and translation of the living world.
