Program 807: Sound Art from the Field
KALW Broadcast Date: December 8, 2024 | Host: Ed Herrmann
A survey of recent releases from Rural Situationism, a series devoted to works based on field recordings. Cheryl Leonard uses sounds from Point Reyes, Marin Headlands, and MacKerricher State Park to make Littoral. Norman Long’s Re-Membering/Re-Presencing was recorded at various locations around Chicago. Angus Carlyle, a professor at the University of the Arts in London, made Powerlines with recordings from northern Norway. From Scotland, Clare Archibald, Mike Bullock, and Anthony Cowie combine field recordings with instruments in Smooring the Fire. Kate Carr recorded on cabbages, salt, bacteria, and transformations in her London kitchen. In Sage, Suddenly, Andrew Weathers combines the dry soundscape of western Colorado with gentle instruments.
