Thanks to our pals at @blackford_hill for including one of Rob's Soundmarks tracks 'Village Green' on this fantastic new compilation: it's a dive through some wonderful worlds of sound!
Great article in @guardian this weekend on sound walks, including coverage of @walk_sound
Our art trail with sound and visual art is still available free online, so even while the museum is shut, you can enjoy an autumnal walk around Roman Aldborough!

It's a year since our exhibition at The Shed in Aldborough! Happy memories of sharing sound and image of the hidden archaeological stories of place.
Our exhibition tour this year was cancelled, but hopefully we'll be taking the sub-surface of Aldborough on the road in 2021!
Working on @soundmarks_ has given @robsaintjohn and I much to think about. We wrote this wee piece for the @The_Learned_Pig about using photography to think through the sub-surface
Thanks to editors @tomjeffreys & Melanie Viets!
I recently took @HelenMark01 for a (phone) walk around Roman Aldborough for @BBCR4OC. We heard bells, birds, cow coughs, river slops & chatted about hidden histories.
Tune in Thursday at 3 for the delights of archaeology in lockdown! @ginger_journobbc.co.uk/programmes/m000kq0…
We're delighted to see one of our own pages as part of the 'page-a-day' from @thenaturelib!
The Nature Library is such a fantastic and generous endeavour, taking wonderful wordy worlds out across Scotland. We're very glad to be part of the flock.
Do check it out!
Soundmarks is a collaboration between Rose Ferraby & Rob St John, weaving their skills in archaeology, visual art, writing, sound, film & photography to explore the intermingling human & natural layers that underpin the landscape at Aldborough Roman Town.

Our @robsaintjohn has made two new films, originally commissioned for the Lark Ascending show at @BarbicanCentre in March.
They feature some work made in Soundmarks: water through balsam stems, swifts in the amphitheatre, tape looped brass.

We've put the last copies of the book/postcard/soundwork package back up for sale on the website, and will be posting out each week.
£10 postage here: soundmarks.co.uk/book/
Microphones stuck into nooks and crannies, and photographs of shifting time and light: @roseferraby presents the fruits of her collaborative project with @robsaintjohn - a mission to bring the Roman town beneath Aldborough to life bit.ly/3aalQd4
It's #WorldBookDay and here at Aldborough we're celebrating narratives of the site woven through text and image, from the 19th century to today!
Ecroyd-Smiths 'Reliquiae' and @soundmarks_ both show the delight of sub-surface discovery. New volume on the site due soon...!
Free art trail maps available in Aldborough church - right on the 'soundmark' for the Roman Forum - have a look and listen here! soundmarks.co.uk/artwork/for…
The @soundmarks_ art trail maps are now available free from the church in Aldborough - pick one up and enjoy exploring the sub-surface world beneath your feet!
