about

The recordings used here were made at Folkstone in June 2014, the earliest of the recordings I made for this project. At Folkstone the English Channel is at its narrowest, and on a clear day France can be seen on the horizon. It is typical of our imperial, grasping nation to appropriate this small stretch of water for ourselves as the "English Channel". In the context of a beach in England then, it is a provocative act to use the name given to it by the French. The French, of course, have their own imperial history, intimately intertwined with our own, not least through the connections forged by the Norman Invasion of England in 1066: the last time this island was successfully invaded. I'm not sure we've ever really got over it.

La Manche was broadcast to Galloway Forest Park as part of The Dark. Outside. on 27-28 September 2014.
