Frédéric Nogray ~ Merua

Enrico Coniglio ~ OlivElegy
A compact yet effective recording, OlivElegy is both a tribute to the olive oil industry and a romantic gesture. Recorded in an olive mill near the holy town of Assisi, the work is dedicated to Coniglio’s wife Rachele; one imagines it may

ACL 2014: Top Ten Field Recording & Soundscape
Field recordings and soundscapes do much more than reflect the sounds of nature. They also delve into local culture and artificial sound environments; they serve as travelogues, historical statements, and calls to political action. An environment once captured is never

Steve Roden ~ Flower & Water
We last heard from Steve Roden after a string of very good releases in 2012, including collaborations with Steve Peters (Not a leaf…), a beautiful work with Machinefabriek (Lichtung), a split 7” with Luminance Ratio, a reworking of old cassette

Thibault Jehanne ~ Eskifjörður
Thibault Jehanne‘s Eskifjörður (not to be confused with Eyjafjallajökull, so famously mispronounced by Ben Stiller in “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”) is a pristine Icelandic soundscape captured in the eastern fjords. For those unfamiliar with Iceland, this is a relatively

Michael Pisaro ~ Continuum Unbound
Some field recording enthusiasts prefer their sound works unadorned; some prefer light adornment; and some prefer the heavy adornment of soundscapes. Michael Pisaro‘s new project offers all three. There’s no universal “best” to be found in this three-disc box set;
