AN audio project which transports listeners to different locations around the world has released a new digital work based on the sounds of the Forest of Dean.

Forestry England has partnered with The Radiophonic Travel Agency to curate a series of recordings from different locations in the Forest to create a "long form" digital audio experience.

The latest episode in a series from the project contains sound recordings from a range of popular spots in the Dean, from biking trails at Cannop Cycle Centre to walking and running trails at Symonds Yat and Mallard’s Pike.

The interactive experience allows listeners to choose how they want to journey through the Forest, with options for biking, running and walking.

It also offers the chance to gain insight into the lives of those who work in the Forest, with sounds from the Greathough Brook beaver enclosure near Lydbrook and a tree felling site at Noxon.

The Radiophonic Travel Agency is an ongoing project for The Radiophonic Institute, which was born out of the "profound legacy" of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Led by "inspirational" composer, creator, and curator Matthew Herbert, the institute works to "create, connect and champion" innovation in sound and music.

The project was established through a long-term relationship with BBC Research & Development (R&D) and enables listeners to experience "a wide range of sites and spaces", from a journey into a city to the "uninterrupted" sounds of the forest.

Forestry England says the latest episode "focuses on our relationship with nature, bringing to life the sounds of the Forest of Dean.

"The episode invites us to listen to how humans encounter and impact this special environment.

"Designed for listeners of all ages, this uplifting and engaging experience guides you into the Forest to experience its sound in a new way."
