Time Stops by Jules Bradley for Short Cuts

It can feel like time as a standard measurement is a universal truth that applies equally to everyone, that we all have the same 24 hours in a day, a minute is 60 seconds for everyone of us.

Dawn Chorus by Marcus Coates

The artist Marcus Coates stumbled across something quite extraordinary when he went into the woods, recorded a dawn chorus, and then slowed down that birdsong by twenty times. He stretched out a few minutes into two hours. What he found is that the noises the birds made, when slowed down, started to sound more human — they were lower, he could mimic them with his own voice, and sing along with the birds. He then recorded other people singing these slowed down notes of birdsong and sped that up by twenty times.
