a sound map of the housatonic river’ (excerpt) [2011, Annea Lockwood, 5:55]
field recording, in all its forms, has been through incredible creative growth in the last few decades & yet its essential power to engage us in the act & art of listening remains inextricably linked to its subtle simplicity, its ability to make us listen ever more closely to the world in which we move by making us stop for a time….
in October 2011 Field Fest (curated by q-o2) brings together many artists /composers / musicians whose work involves various aspects of field recording….this compilation offers you the chance to hear some small elements of that work. it should be noted however that much of the work in this area of music / sound is not ideal for listening via computer speakers so please do listen via headphones or other speakers. I hope you will find these pieces enjoyable, inspiring and thought provoking….thanks….jez riley french
