Whispering in the Leaves
The audio equivalent of 3D cinema. Chris Watson's Whispering in the Leaves is an extraordinary sound installation that immerses visitors to Kew Gardens' Palm House in the dawn and dusk choruses of the Central and South American rainforests. Watson is best known for his sound recording work on BBC wildlife documentaries such as The Life of Mammals and The Life of Birds. Alongside the installation, part of the Summer Festival at Kew Gardens, a programme of special performances, workshops, guided tours and talks gives you the chance to find out more about sound, the environment and biodiversity.
