“De composities houden het midden tussen een soundscape en experimentele auditieve excursies, maar weten je allen stevig in de houdgreep te nemen. Alsof je naar een spannende en uiterst intrigerende natuurdocumentaire kijkt of nu ja luistert....liefhebbers van onder meer William Basinski, Francisco López, Chihei Hatakeyama, Machinefabriek, Celer en Loscil hier hun hart aan op kunnen halen. Het is wederom een adembenemend mooi reisdocument.”

"On one of those days when things slow down (or seemingly do so), I sat back and played this album a few times in a row, too lazy to get up and write these words or to want to change the tune, so in that sense, it was a most successful album.."
➝ About 03 Poland:
The third episode in the Field Recordings series was recorded in Poland in the summer of 2021. From the Bialowieza Forest on the border with Belarus, one of the last and largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest, to the Tatra Mountains with her erratic rocks, high peaks, breathtaking views and beautiful nature, located on the border with Slovakia.
Besides recording the natural elements, animals and spatial environments, I used the landscape and the objects present as a sound canvas. Interesting sound textures were created by tapping, hitting, throwing or rubbing on and against surfaces. In this episode I tried to capture the atmosphere of Poland through a coalescence of sound recordings and musical ideas. 🌍 Locations: Bialowieza, Krakow, Katowice, Tatra Mountains

➝ About the series:
Field Recordings is about the auditory world in which one moves. A series based on a continuous curiosity and explorations of sound fields. Usually cast in a soundscape, sometimes accompanied by musical elements, or simply reproduced as it was recorded.
With every new episode of Field Recordings we* ask someone to come up with a color combination for the accompanying artwork based on their listening experience.
*The concept of Field Recordings is co-created with Niels Vrijdag
