Our Found Sound this week is brought to you by the buzzing of the ivy bees. If you've seen the abundance of ivy flowers this month due to the warmer weather, you'll have heard a collective hum amongst these beautiful umbrella-shaped clusters of green and yellow. 🐝

We've worked on some great audio projects over the summer. Including this recording of 'Shamble', an audio drama set here in Norfolk. Written by Martha Allison, the piece is part of The Coastlife Sheringham Little Theatre Playwriting Prize supported by Sheringham Little Theatre.

We're sharing some of our found sounds. Being audio lovers we often find ourselves capturing sounds and moments when we're out and about. Here's one from Anna (and one of the smallest members of the SOUNDYARD team), ringing the bell sculpture on Happisburgh beach.
