Field Recording

Field Recording is a captivating genre that transforms the ambient sounds of our world into a musical tapestry, capturing the essence of environments from bustling cities to serene forests. Originating from the early 20th century practice of ethnomusicologists and sound artists venturing into nature and urban landscapes with portable recording devices, it blurs the line between sound art and music. Notable for its immersive quality, field recordings invite listeners to experience the raw, unfiltered symphony of life, often serving as the backbone for experimental compositions or as standalone auditory journeys.
