Description
It's just after midday in August and very hot. Families are out on the beach sunbathing, children play in the water. At the shoreline, cool waves wash and dissolve onto the shingle.

Each wave kneads and brushes the shingle in its own unique way. The detail is intricate, each fragment of stone moves with it's own audible signature. Sitting so close to moving water is like a balm to the ears. To celebrate six months of Radio Lento, here's 19 minutes of watery ear balm from Felixstowe beach!
