I walked up the hill above Real World earlier today to take a shot of the studios. As I framed this shot, all seemed quite until I noticed a strange tickling of my left leg - I’d inadvertently stood on an anthill and brought it’s frenetic activity to the surface (an halfway up my trouser leg)
There is of course a parallel in the image as it looks as peaceful as did the hilltop, but beneath the surface there is frenetic activity as WOMAD moves into top gear for the Charlton Park festival in a weeks time, loud rhythmic sounds pulse out of various studio doors, foley artists creak along boards and all manner of music related pixels get pushed around screens.
