Earlier this week, Touch Editions put together a two-night, three-day field recording event as part of its ongoing 30th anniversary. The event was headlined by **Chris Watson**, wildlife sound legend — at least to those who pay attention to wildlife sound.
The Touch podcast, over at [touchradio.org.uk](http://www.touchradio.org.uk/touch_radio_88_the_sea.html), has now posted a December 8 recording from Sea Palling in Norfolk, England, to commemorate the event ([MP3](http://www.touchshop.org/touchradio/Radio88.mp3). It’s the deep white noise of the ocean, and Watson is its anti-Ahab: determined in his pursuit of the ubiquitous. The fidelity and placidity are remarkable.
