The Field Recording Show is a programme exploring the soundscape, recording, listening and composing hosted by Kate Carr and Luca Nasciuti.
This episode explores the politics, challenges and excitement of recording in cities. It features interviews with US ethnographer Benjamin Tausig and Australian artist and radio producer Camilla Hannan. Ben discusses his new book Bangkok is Ringing, the ways sound can help us think about politics and his field work in Thailand. Camilla describes a recent trip to Papua New Guinea, discusses the relationship between sound art and radio, and outlines her techniques and approaches to recording.
Featuring work by Jacqueline George, Benjamin Tausig, Simon James, Camilla Hannan, D Bayne and Sun Wei.
this is a very exciting opening - I hope I will learn more about where these recordings took place and if they are combined or layered in a later process.
