24 hours

For 24 hours, I drove an improvised route,
with a 10-minute break every hour,
eventually arriving back at the starting point.

Reversed

During a train journey,
I sat at a window.
I voiced what I noticed outside,
and recorded it with a sound recorder.
On the return journey, I sat in the opposite seat,
with headphones on
and as I looked outside,
I listened to the audio file in reverse.

Duet

La Puebla de Castro, Spain

From the trees overhanging the path came the sound of a nightingale.
I recorded the sound with my phone and then played it loudly.
The nightingale responded and sang a duet with its own captured song.
