links: field recordings - part 1
I like to record real sounds with microphones of all kinds.
Glad
that I am not alone in the world. Many sound-artists, researchers or
field-recordists carry the same passion than I do.
Here are some links to get a little insight into this world.
Field Muzick are
from the German Erzgebirge region who swing between evironmental and
electronic music. Records like „music
out of open windows“ - [fm01] is a compilation of various
field recordists not only done for indoor listening. They motivate you
to „Listen to it with windows open wide...and let your environment
remix the songs!“ Marcus Obst released with „trafic
tonalité“ a Cdr with relaxing streetnoise »Like a
sky-coloured Sunday-morning version of Kraftwerk’s "Autobahn".« (Tocafi)
while Frank Rowenta creates a sinister mediterranean summer feeling at „klänge
siziliens“.

Rummage Through The Crevices - the link goes straight to an excellent field recordings section of the blog - is a weekly community radio segment (Monday Afternoons, 2SER-FM, Sydney, Australia) devoted to offbeat and outsider music, less travelled paths of global pop, interesting re-issued treasures, music-sharing activists, notable and unusual online mp3 repositories, etc. The webloggy thing is its online companion.
Dan had the same walkman than I had.
But I recorded shows from the
Einstürzenden Neubauten (early days) and other bands while he did some
very special recordings in the arcade.
At his page you can find a
massive archive of fine recordings of Classic
Arcade Videorecords.
I'm just glad I could preserve them before the the cassettes disintegrate.
