field recording albums...

atsonicpark · 02.20.2009, 06:44 PM

Inspired by the favorite natural sounds thread.

Does anyone know of any albums in the vein of something like... someone sitting in the middle of the woods and just recording the natural sounds of the woods? I know there are albums of frogs croaking, birds singing, elephants roaring, dragonflies buzzing, etc. I don't want that. I want the natural sounds of rain and woods. But no easy listening enya shit. I don't want it to be super processed garbage.

Also, stuff like Lustmord's Heresy (which was digitally amplified low frequency recordings of tombs and shit).

Just, you know, good field recording stuff.

How would that be the same as listening to the inside of a tomb?

I was referring more to the sound of 'rain and woods' than the tomb thing, if that wasn't obvious.

Don't mind me. Just trying to be a twat. Field recordings have their uses.

yeah I was gonna mention Autumn Records. Shit's amazing.

Also if you want to go further than just "woods" etc, check out some of the field recordings work that both Greg Davis and Keith Fullerton Whitman have done. Whitman for instance did an amazing one where he recorded an underpass in Boston, and that's one track. The second track is his "remix" of the field recording. Very cool. DARTMOUTH STREET UNDERPASS it's called.

ps, in 2003 or so, I was in the process of recording an album for Autumn Recs of a field near the shack I lived in at the time. But it fell thru (on my end).

Chris Watson is defintely the current king of field recordings. I think it was he who put mics inside of a carcass to record the sounds of carrion birds devouring it.

chris watson is pretty much the king of the field recording. i liked the glacier ice field one a lot.

atsonicpark · 02.21.2009, 05:01 PM

haha thanks!

ive been digging that dave phillips field recordings albums. that guy is a noise genius no doubt. as a genre its not my favorite thing, i prefer when prerecorded sounds are a means to an end, but no the end. there are some records however, like in any genre, that have been mind blowing.

You should check out the work of Francisco López.
