Joe Stevens & Luís Antero ~ Seaside Sounds

After hearing so many field recordings in which plane sounds are an intrusion, it’s nice to hear one in which they are a subject – in this instance, the biplanes flying over attendees of Dorset’s “Weymouth Carnival”.  Joe Stevens’ contribution to Seaside Sounds makes for

Raül Fuentes ~ Omiyage

Raül Fuentes is a sonic collector.  Over the course of the past year, he’s been collecting sound snippets from around the world like others collect keychains or vials of sand.  These snippets now form the single long-form composition Omiyage, a Japanese word

Pietro Riparbelli ~ Three Days of Silence

The monastic life remains inscrutable to those outside the conclaves.  No matter how many films or books cover the subject, the internal, contemplative path can only be experienced through participation.  In an effort to understand the isolated, yet strangely communal

Various Artists ~ Somewhere on the edge

47 tracks, 531 minutes and 34 seconds: nearly nine hours of field recordings and soundscapes fill every corner of Gruenrekorder’s 100th release, a testament not only to the strength and diversity of the label, but to the number of friends

Valiska ~ Record of 37

One day not so long ago, Valiska (Krzysztof Sujata) took the bus to the train in downtown Calgary and thought, wow, this sounds pretty good.  And so, field recorder in hand, he set out to record the sounds of the day: to bring the

Luis Antero ~ Postais Sonoros

40 tracks is quite a lot, but as a free download, it’s more of an abundance than an over-indulgence.  Luis Antero‘s travels across Portugal, the country “planted by the sea”, are lovingly preserved as a series of sonic postcards for
