starting field recording

 field recording was, and is, a bit impenetrable at times. not leastw ehn you're starting. this helps

 it's true that i'm doing a fair bit of photography these days, which is great, and i especially love the analogue work, and being out and about outside, but it's not a patch on sound recording. sadly, these days, i just don't have the time. here's chris watson and why slowing down and listening is great

murmuration #3 species

 

surprised when this appeared in my feed today - didn't even know this was happening let alone so close! and more female sound recorders than i think i've ever seen in one place, which is pleasing. i've been ruined by swedish silence and the mystery that is the loos of all my sound files from there but i really need to start getting back out again!

johan johansson

this is a really fascinating wee podcast about how johan johansson did the score for arrival. there's lots of interest that could inform field recording and structuring practice

knitsonik

i make no excuses for continuing on a textile theme. esp when that textile is knitting. it seems (to me) that knitting, of all the textile forms, is the easiest to dismiss if it's even talked about at all. a great shame as there's so much that can be done with it and so much local culture associated with it.

i was delighted then to come across knitsonik who not only engages directly with the environment (see the source book) but also does field recording.. felix - i am projecting a lot of love your way. i adore work like this, that takes a little from here, a little from there and makes you think differently about your own practice.

*i feel it's only fair that in this blush of enthusiasm for knitting that i can't knit for toffee!
