Martin Scaiff: Environmentalist in Residence | Suffolk Community Libraries

Martin joined the libraries team in April 2024, beginning a six-month walking journey connecting all 45 of Suffolk’s library venues and collecting sound along the way. The recordings Martin gathered during his residency have been developed into a bespoke audio collection called Seconds of Sound (S.O.S) capturing acoustic moments in time across Suffolk’s landscape, with the collection featuring a compilation of tracks for each walking route. The collection is an open access resource and is freely available to listen to and download by anyone, anywhere, anytime. During his residency, Martin walked a total distance of 520.24km which is 701,090 steps or 12 marathons over 134 hours and 33 minutes – that’s a total of 484,380 seconds of sound!
