Denver Sluice Spring Tide

Recorded at Denver Sluice at 9am on 16 July 2026, as the tide was coming in. Denver Sluice is a meeting point between the natural movement of water and the ways we manage and control it. Water is held back, redirected and released, creating a constantly changing soundscape. The recording was made just two days after the new moon, during a spring-tide period when the tidal range is greater. It captures a moment in this cycle, as water moves against the sluice and the surrounding landscape. Part of Fenland Conversations, exploring the Fens through sound, research and the experiences of people connected to the landscape.
