Chris Watson is a musician who has been featured on numerous albums, but he is also a renowned audio documentarian who methodically records sounds from the natural environment, or that reflect the natural or human history of specific sites, with breathtaking clarity. His recordings have been widely broadcast on TV and radio and used as source materials for experimental music.
