Low power FM radio transmission of found and donated sounds within a 10 mile radius in the middle of one of the darkest and really quite remote places on earth in Galloway Forest in Dumfriesshire.

The whole project is then linked with a book festival in one of the most out of the way towns nearby.

My kind of art project.
