An immersive audio experience inviting you to listen to the inner life of trees.
Come together under the magnificent old beech trees in Alexandra Park, Bath, and listen to ‘The Man Who Became a Tree’ – a powerful story written by the visionary science fiction author, Olaf Stapledon. The story is accompanied by sounds recorded in forests by musicologists, Professor Annie Mahtani and Teddy Hunter, at the world-leading Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR), University of Birmingham.
