CRM Records, 1970 The granddaddy of them all. If you grew up in the 1970s, your parents had a copy of this (and were probably rolling joints on the sleeve before you came along). Roger Payne, the oceanographer credited with discovering vocalization among the massive marine mammals, used military-issue hydrophones—missile-shaped piezoelectric device...
Syntonic Research, 1969 The Environments series ran to 11 volumes, produced between 1969 and 1979 by a Manhattan company called Syntonic Research, whose avowed interest was in exploring the relationship between mood and the sonic environment. Psychologically Ultimate Seashore—a 30-minute recording of nothing but tumbling, lapping waves—was dreamed ...
Editions EG, 1982 Eno's experiments with ambient music purportedly trace to the 1970s, when a living room stereo with the volume too low and a broken-legged Eno confined to the couch compelled him to question the distinction between music and the environment in which it's heard. True or not, the story syncs up neatly with On Land, which combined fi...
Rykodisc, 1995 A quick Amazon search turns up more than 150 thunderstorm CDs. For sheer cardiac-arrest potential, none compare to this one. Released, inexplicably, on Rykodisc, a reissue label whose finest moment was making Frank Zappa's catalog available in the early '90s, Thunderstorm is World War Three in your living room. There is heavy rain, y...
Smithsonian Folkways, 1998 First issued in the 1950s but finally reaching a wide audience at millennium's end (coincidence?), Sounds of North American Frogs is an aural encyclopedia of native species, alone and in group settings, interspersing frog and toad calls with the distinctively Eisenhower-era narration of herpetologist Charles M. Bogert. No...
Touch, 2003 Chris Watson was a founding member of Cabaret Voltaire and the Hafler Trio, two influential UK post-punk groups, but for the past three decades he has traveled the world as a sound recordist for the BBC. He never stopped making records: Stepping into the Dark and Inside the Circle of Fire, released in the mid-'90s, are landscape and spe...
Sublime Frequencies, 2004 During mating season in Southeast Asia, male dragonflies congregate into bilious swarms and emit deafening sheets of high-pitched tones in an effort to attract females. According to lore, the lucky ones pair up, while the spurned continue their manic shrieking until, bodies overtaxed by the effort, their chests explode and...
EarthEar, 2006 The Sound of Light in Trees documents an ecological holocaust—the destruction of northern New Mexico's piñon pine forests by Ips confuses, the lowly bark beetle. Dunn, a composer and acoustic ecologist, spent years developing tiny probe mics that could be placed in spaces conventional recording equipment couldn't reach. His recording...
Ash International, 2009 Quick: What's the creepiest sound you've ever heard? Whatever it is, it's got nothing on Jana Winderen's 2009 recording of decopods scuttling about on the ocean floor off the coast of Scandinavia. Decapods—the order of ten-legged crustaceans that includes lobsters, shrimps, and crayfish—use as many as half of their appendage...
Gruenrekorder, 2011 Pollardstown Fen is an ancient, 500-acre, spring-fed alkali marsh in County Kildare, 30 miles west of Dublin, but to listen to these hydrophone recordings by Irish musicologist Tom Lawrence, you'd think it was a well-stocked video arcade circa 1985. Electronic stabs, pulsing laser blasts, and a thick blanket of granular static m...
Oct 18, 2017 · Hidden Orchestra – Dawn Chorus. At the bombastic end of field recording albums is the third release by Joe Acheson’s Hidden Orchestra project, which takes his field recordings of birdsong and dawn choruses and constructs an entire Portico Quartet/Cinematic Orchestra-style album around the results. Possibly the most danceable field recording ...

Jun 20, 2016 · In its broadest sense, ‘field recording’ refers to the process of capturing sound outside the controlled confines of a studio. Within that definition however, a world of differing processes, theoretical approaches and outcomes are found. From Pierre Schaeffer and the Musique Concrète movement of the 1940s, through to the representation of ...
