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;

Francisco López ~ Obatalá – Ibofanga
The third edition in Francisco López’ new Epoché Collection, Obatalá – Ibofanga is also its most subtle. The 50-minute soundscape seems to be that of a forest at night, but was recorded in multiple locations in two countries over the course of eight years.

Lawrence English + Werner Dafeldecker ~ Shadow of the Monolith
I recently heard an Australian speaker commenting on tourists. “I love when people come to Australia and say that they’re just passing through. Passing through to where? The South Pole?” In this case, the answer is yes, as this collaborative

Matthew Gandy & BJ Nilsen ~ The Acoustic City
The Acoustic City is a 224-page book that includes a 75-minute CD. One can imagine it as required reading for sound studies students, but it possesses the same readability as Angus Carlyle and Cathy Lane’s On Listening and In the Field: The Art of

Hein Schoer ~ The Sounding Museum: Box of Treasures
The Sounding Museum: Box of Treasures is perhaps Gruenrekorder’s most elaborate production to date: a CD, audio DVD, DVD-ROM and softbound 419-page book, all enclosed in a black cardboard sleeve. It takes an entire day to peruse, but one would not

Louis Sarno ~ Song from the Forest
Listening to Song from the Forest, many older readers will think of the famous French duo Deep Forest. The duo helped increase interest in world music in the early nineties, but they also did the genre a slight disservice, creating an unfair

Chris Silver T ~ Salty spots
Sadly yet inevitably, summer is ending, and is now hanging on by a very thin thread. At this time of year, the beach days are numbered – we’re back at our desks, dreaming of the sea. Pablo Neruda writes, “Whoever
