Jay-Dea López ~ The Great Silence

This album begins with an insult: the 1788 declaration of British colonists that the Australian soundscape was “silent”.  This insulting statement inspired the phrase, “The Great Australian Silence”.  Even worse, the evil attitude that it exposed led to the mass

Annea Lockwood ~ A Sound Map of the Housatonic River

A certain irony rests in the fact that I’m listening to the work of a New Zealand artist who traveled across the sea to record the sounds of a river near the home where I was raised.  Even as a

ACL 2012: Top Ten Field Recording & Soundscape

An expert field recording requires more than just a good weather-resistant microphone.  One needs a feel for one’s subject matter, a discriminating ear, and the ability to make sound so powerful that it makes up for the lack of sight.

ACL 2012: The Year’s Best Winter Music

As the leaves land, as the frost forms, and as the first flakes begin to fall, we set our minds to winter.  Some will experience the stalwart winter of Wallace Stevens, and others the cold, claustrophobic winter of Sylvia Plath.

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

David Vélez ~ El Pájaro que Escucha

Three victories in a row for the 3leaves label (following releases by Craig Vear and Steve Roden) and a hat trick for David Vélez as well, following releases on Unfathomless and Impulsive Habitat.  El Pájaro que Escucha (the bird that listens) is

Steve Roden ~ Berlin Fields

Berlin may be the lucky city that graces the title, but Berlin Fields was also recorded in Paris and Helsinki.  It’s an odd travelogue, 19 sonic vignettes captured as often by happenstance as by intention.  One imagines the artist wandering through

Craig Vear ~ ESK

“River Esk, Frozen”, recorded at the North Yorkshire Coast, was one of the highlights of Aud Ralph Roas’le.  Craig Vear‘s follow-up moves further up the coastline, tracing the river “from source to sea”.  The result is a sound sculpture with
