Peter Toll ~ movement (holkham)
When listening to pure, unadulterated field recordings, the conscious mind is aware that it is hearing history rather than composition. The fallow deer steps and honking mating calls of “movement (holkham) #1” are no studio creation; they unfold in real

“89” is a thirty-two minute piece recorded in Fujaco, a mountain village in São Pedro do Sul, Portugal. Through all of its duration (“89” being the only track), listeners are effectively Fujaco’s most recent visitors, spending several days in the Portuguese

Flavien Gillié ~ Encore Un Peu De Ce Monde
When making field recordings, sometimes it’s best to stay away from the obvious. There will come a time when listeners have had their fill of sparrows and seas and begin to wish for something else. That’s where artists such as Flavien

Frédéric Nogray ~ Buiti Binafin
Buiti Binafin may be a field recording, but it’s also an attempt to drive home a deeper message: that Earth’s natural soundscapes are disappearing by the minute, and the world’s chroniclers may need to step up their pace. At the same

Saåad ~ Confluences
We last encountered French duo Saåad on Sustained Layers, a collaboration with like-minded artists EUS and Postdrome. We’ve since had the pleasure of reviewing the latter artist’s solo album, and now it’s Saåad’s turn. Confluences is a commissioned work first presented in front of the

Chris Whitehead ~ Ravenscar
The village of Ravenscar, located in North Yorkshire, is the home of many geological formations and scenic vistas. The variety of potential sounds makes it a natural choice for field recording expeditions. Although the album is presented as a single

Kostoglotov ~ East London 27.7 – 13.8
The Olympic torch relay may have been portrayed as the precursor to the London 2012 Olympics, but in reality the progression of the flame effectively lit the Olympic touchpaper, sparking off amazing scenes of electrifying excitement and smiles of joy,

Foton ~ Omega
Foton’s debut is a sound collage in negative, a modern take on musique concrète that blends with its listeners’ surroundings in a manner that equally complements and cancels out the ambient noise. It is quiet enough to allow the sounds
