Tomáš Šenkyřík ~ Jaro (Spring)
A short while back, we reviewed Kate Carr’s false dawn, a celebration of the dawn chorus recreated through children’s toys and percussive instruments. We expressed concern that one day we may only be able to recall the dawn chorus through tapes

Francesco Fabris & Ben Frost ~ Vakning
Few field recording artists experience risk recording in urban, suburban and forest environments, but the Room40 roster revels in extremes: Antarctic storms, sub-zero temperatures, and now the boiling opposite.
