Summary:
"For our own Field Recordings, we asked the composers to go into the field of recorded sound itself -- to find something old or record something new, and to respond with their own music, in dialogue with what they found. Using archival audio, found sound and video, Field Recordings builds a bridge between the seen and the unseen, the present and the absent, the past and the future."--Container.
