  1. Cuttlebone – A Coastal Find Worth Knowing About

    Between two field recording spots on the Belgian coast, I found a cuttlebone half-buried in the sand. Pale, lightweight, and deceptively intricate, this is the internal shell of the cuttlefish, built from aragonite and engineered for buoyancy. Here is everything worth knowing about this common but fascinating coastal find.

  6. DC Orisant – The Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger That Made My Easter Morning

    Easter Monday, Ostend harbour, 6 AM. The city is still asleep when a 142-metre trailing suction hopper dredger quietly prepares to leave the port. The DC Orisant, a beast of Dutch engineering, offered one of the most unexpected and stunning field recording sessions I've had on the Belgian coast.

  11. Overzetboot Ostend / Field Recording

    The Overzetboot is Ostend's free passenger ferry and a surprisingly rich field recording location. For this session I used the LOM Geofon for the very first time, capturing structural vibrations straight through the hull. Short crossing, open harbor views, Ostend skyline and not a cent to pay.

  18. ESVAGT Mercator – Service Operation Vessel

    Another fascinating vessel spotted during my visits to the Belgian coast! The ESVAGT Mercator is a regular presence at the Port of Oostende, and it's hard not to be impressed by this compact yet remarkably capable ship. Don't be fooled by its size, this vessel is a key player in Belgium's offshore wind energy sector.
