What's the deal with field recordings? Sounds like an interesting

you take a microphone and point it down at a field, and then music is made.

Someone give me some good field recordings albums is what I'm saying

I was working on a "non-music" flowchart but then my HDD died and I lost it forever
What kind of recording do you want is what I'm asking
nature, cities, machines, animals etc etc

>>70808184
Hmmmm well I'd say nature and cities sound most interesting to me but I'm open to most anything. Probably not as much animal sounds though

Field Recordings that are outside of the human sensorium are where it's at. Recordings of phenomena that are otherwise completely inaccessible to us on a micro or macro scale, in locations that are beyond any normal means of reaching. I do get the 'point' of ordinary field recordings, but I don't see it as being any more interesting or progressive than 10 hour sleep playlists on youtube.

Give Jana Winderen's work a listen, OP. It's some of the most interesting work as far as micro/macro field recording goes

francisco lopez has "buidings - new york" (it's something like that, I don't remember the exact name)
tony schwartz has a one from the 50's that is pretty interesting and it has narration (moondog makes an appearance here it's funny because it doesn't say his name)
there is a recording of a 60's march against the vietnam war and it's cool because you can hear the broadcasting of it at the same time
it's called Bryant Park Moratorium Rally (1969) by tony conrad
I'll link you this list it has some nice stuff in it

>>70808406

It's the sound of pistol shrimp, but doing what exactly, nobody knows. The album was recorded on the sea off of Norway, where pistol shrimp are so numerous that you can hear them making these noises through the waves and winds. These kind of field recordings tend to use hydrophone arrays that record sub-aurally using piezoelectric transducers rather than the actual pressure waves of standard microphones, allowing you to pick up incredibly microscopic sounds. I believe she also uses a parabolic reflector mic that can record sound directionally and at massive distances, including through water.

This is the only field recording work worth listening to.

The logical conclusion to music.

Music Has... uses a bunch of field recording samples.

>>70808892
yeah i personally think field recording is fucking gay because its much more fun to take the weird ass samples you acquire and make a track out of them and distort them to the point nobody knows what theyre hearing in the first place.

>>70808400
this type stuff is the exception tho. and field recordings of animals makin cool sounds like the meme frog album.
