Sound-art and transmission-art delivered monthly by London sound art collective Gwaith Sŵn. This month: we consider different approaches to field recording, in particular looking at those interested in located sound (place) and those making use of field recordings as sonic material (plasticity). Featuring field recordings in various degrees of transformation from Indian cremation rituals, Scottish nature walks, London's relentless construction noise, Zimbabwean mbira jams and Brazilian cacti turned percussion instruments, and we talk to composer and researcher Andrew Knight-Hill about field recording and spatial identity.
