Daily Record

Live in the studio at 5pm – Clarry M presents 6 months worth of daily 30 second audio clips in 45 minutes.

Remember the app BeReal? Users took and posted ‘real’ selfies of themselves at a random time of the day, every day, determined by when the app’s notification went off. Its popularity may have waned but its attempt to capture the ‘real’ moments in people’s lives – no pre-planned posing, no filters, no warning, was a refreshing alternative to hyper stylised instagram content.

“I decided to use BeReal’s daily prompt as an approach to field recording, recording at least 30 seconds of whatever can be heard around me when the notification pinged. By March 2025 I’ll have 6 months worth of daily recordings to play in sequence. This subverts my usual field recording process of choosing interesting, shinier sounds to capture, instead documenting daily, often mundane snippets of a life.”
