A Foot in Summer

Between the Ears in miniature returns with new short works themed around Midsummer Dreaming. Airing in the run-up to our dream-like night of adventurous radio, featuring treasures from the BBC Radio 3 archives from sunset until sunrise on the summer solstice.

In A Foot in Summer, Australian audio artist Sherre DeLys, her own summer behind her, travels to Mount Stilwell in the Snowy Mountains to chase the last of the summer light before it slips north. Listening to poet Mark Tredinnick read this alpine landscape, she learns to trust, as the snow gum does, that the seasons don't end so much as spill into one another.
