Sounds of the Forest and four other finds

Five Finds is a monthly collection of five inspiring things we deemed worthy of sharing. If you’d like inspiration in your inbox each month sign up here.

What a difference a month makes. Far from ‘returning to normal’, things are looking decidedly different than expected. As a bit of respite, this month’s finds are a collection of little ‘pick-me-ups’ that we all need right now.

Sounds of the Forest

Sounds of the Forest are collecting the sounds of woodlands and forests from all around the world, creating a growing soundmap from the world’s woodlands.

Thanks to the pandemic, for the first time in history, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition will fall in winter. But it's still going ahead!

 

Would you jump?

An oldie but a goodie. Maximilien Van Aertryck and Axel Danielson made ‘Ten Meter Tower’ a film documenting people facing a difficult situation, to make a portrait of humans in doubt.

Best laid plans

The plan was to have a new Lark website launching this month with a couple of new projects, but with everything going on recently, progress has been slow. It’ll hopefully be ready for next month’s newsletter but in the meantime here’s a snippet of an identity we've completed for a personal trainer who links body and mind.
