he's released one record on Touch and is about to release another. Both are
field recordings from around the world. The first one is excellent -
Venezualan rain forests, mating stags in Scotland - excellent for sampling

Watson's lead instrument is the tape recorder. After working with
Cabaret Voltaire and The Hafler Trio, he became sound recordist for the
Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He has since joined a film and
video production company, working for BBC wildlife documentaries and
occasional feature films. "In recent years I have noticed that some of the
particular locations I have visited had an overall characteristic -
sparkling acoustics, a special timbre, sometimes rhythmic or transient
animal sounds". Watson's interest goes beyond the brief of the programmes he
works on: he takes the chance to explore "the intangible sense of being in a
special place - somewhere that has a spirit - a place that has an
atmosphere".
