Field Trips

NEW: Album of my favourite recordings from the Field Trips podcast available at https://mola-recordings.bandcamp.com/album/souvenirs. Radio Aporee can be found here: https://aporee.org/maps/ My grandfather's book (which is actually very good, I'm only a little biased) can be found here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shore-Lines-Life-Lessons-Sea/dp/1463419716 The friends I mention happen to dabble with field recording themselves - here's something Charlie put together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z17P3aR1r2M Also be sure to check out their project Community Loops based in Brighton: https://www.facebook.com/communityloops/ As always, you can hear the sans-commentary version of this episode over at https://mola-recordings.bandcamp.com/track/by-the-sea

Sans-commentary version and transcript available at https://mola-recordings.bandcamp.com/track/richmond.

Uguisubari: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightingale_floor John Cage's 'Indeterminacy': http://johncage.org/indeterminacy.html Sans-commentary version and transcription of this episode available at https://mola-recordings.bandcamp.com/track/palaces.

Sorry about the delay; I've been busy. I know that technically some of these recordings were made in Kensington Gardens rather than Hyde Park, but for convenience's sake I've just referred to the places I visited as being in Hyde Park because they're practically interdependent - no pedantic comments, please. As always, the sans-commentary version of this episode is available to download at https://mola-recordings.bandcamp.com/track/hyde-park where you can donate as much or as little as you'd like in order to help support the show (I lost one of my DPA's windscreens on this excursion so any help in covering that expense would be greatly appreciated). You can also find the transcript of the episode there in case there's any part that you don't quite catch or if you would just like to read along. In case you need to refresh your memory to better understand my comparisons, Episode 2 and 4 can be found at the following links, respectively: https://soundcloud.com/mola-recordings/field-trip-02-horniman-museum-and-billingsgate-fish-market https://soundcloud.com/mola-recordings/field-trip-04trafalgar-square-and-hqs-wellington Thank you for listening.

Sorry for the persistent popping noise - the cables for my nt4 tend to knock together while walking about. I'll tape them together for next time. Stephan never actually got his microphones out during our afternoon together (he was more interested in the local fungi), but when he's not distractedly taking pictures of mushrooms he records for a variety of sonic experiments: https://soundcloud.com/soundfjordgallery/sea-forest-wind-stephan-barrett-1 https://soundcloud.com/littoraltransmissions https://www.facebook.com/postcardsfromthevolcano/

No interesting links this episode, but money please?: https://mola-recordings.bandcamp.com/album/field-trips I'm sorry for "selling out" - I want to continue this project as I enjoy making it and other people seem to enjoy listening to it too, but I need to know that it's a worthwhile endeavor and that I'm not just ranting to noone while pissing what little money I have away on oyster top-ups and entries to various places. Just trying to be transparent.

Episode 4 (Trafalgar): https://soundcloud.com/mola-recordings/field-trip-04trafalgar-square-and-hqs-wellington Peter Cusack's talk at Duke University: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4IOi2JvXEY 'Buddies' episode with Neil Kagan: https://soundcloud.com/mola-recordings/buddies-1-neil John Cage on silence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcHnL7aS64Y Sans-commentary version and transcript of this episode: https://mola-recordings.bandcamp.com/track/westminster

First episode of a new sub-series of Field Trips, where I go out and record with other people. This episode is with Neil, a friend who I've mentioned before, who is still relatively new to the practice but is quickly learning and has some interesting ideas. You can find his modular synthesis work at homodular.bandcamp.com. If you live in the Greater London area and would like to meet up to record together just send me a message.

Something a little different this episode; maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. There won't be a free sans-commentary version of this episode for obvious reasons.

My album that I mention: https://mola-recordings.bandcamp.com/album/d-ch-ki-recordings-from-a-soggy-sleeping-bag The video with Andrew Tuersley: https://mola-recordings.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/play-park-210115.html Andy's soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/venussmiles Ian Rawes' Raising of Tower Bridge: https://soundcloud.com/london-sound-survey/raising-of-tower-bridge Ian has also informed me that "the various squeaks and groans recorded inside the Tower Bridge bascule chamber have now mostly gone following repair and maintenance work. I went to record there again last November and it sounded very different, and not as good either."

Sorry for the reup; I was told I speak too fast which makes it hard for non-native English speakers so I rerecorded the voiceover. Hopefully this is better.

I hope you enjoy.

The first episode of a new project where I go to places, make some recordings, and then talk about them.

I hope you enjoy.
