Four sound artists working with field recordings. TOSHIYA TSUNODA's "Reclaimed Land," recorded in Japan, captures an immersive and rich environment, momentarily framed. Melbourne-based sound artist and improviser JOEL STERN's track was produced using binaural microphones, two bottles of soda water, damaged cables and speakers, moving between richly textural surface noise, investigations of acoustic space, and minute gestural detail. The cyclic mixture of breathing, resonant drones, static rustlings and scrapings of TARAB's "Of Hollow Traces" was constructed from a series of improvisations, using a mixture of found objects, microphones, simple electronics and field recordings. Brisbane-based writer, composer and artist LAWRENCE ENGLISH collects together a series of field recordings captured in Tokyo and New York into an audio diary of abstract reflections. Imported from Australia.
