A couple of weeks ago, I watched The Singing Planet, a documentary film by Liz McKenzie about the voices of the natural world. This is a highly simplified summary that doesn’t make it justice at all. I had the pleasure to review and write an article about it on earth.fm, which I am a curator […]
Upon the kind invitation from David Woje to be a guest in his podcast Ambisonic Spaces, I took myself to think deeply – or rather to organize my thoughts – about how my personal practice has mutated throughout these years. As I changed, evolved, or moved as a person, so has my practice. It is […]
The Great Animal Orchestra was one of the books about field recording I took more pleasure and knowledge from. A lot of what I looked for in field recording was expressed here, with lightness, amusement with a new level of environmental consciousness. And so, as you can imagine, it was with great joy that I […]
“Relax and listen slow”: that’s how Adriene, in The Blind Tourist Podcast, opens our long, oneiric and almost too deep conversation for a warm countryside afternoon for me, a NYC morning for Adriene. It’s obvious that this sweet site of mine serves not only the purposes of resource sharing but also an accepted self-promotion that […]
Hi, hello! I know it has been a while, but here I come with some updates and resources for you. This summer, yours truly has been invited to a handful of awesome podcasts. All within slightly different approaches although centred in my field recording activity. The first took place with Akash Thakkar, who you might […]
Hello friends and visitors from another world! This is a very spontaneous entry that I wanted to share with you, instead of keeping it to a personal journal, or more likely spinning in my mind. You can think of it as an update to what I have been up to and some thoughts on life, […]
Hi there! I wrote a new article about field recording practice that is based on my experience and practices I have been shaping. It’s interesting to look back at my first projects and understand how much my listening and methods have evolved. As I have started to read and study about ethnography and “listening slower” […]
Hi! This is a quick note to let you know about this interview conducted by Brian, for his excellent blog Stationary Travels. I have following his selections and reviews for a long while and I found out beautiful and diverse music and field recording artists through Brian’s website and so it was a pleasure to […]
If you have been reading this blog for a while, you might know that last month I spend 12 days at a Wolf Center recording over a dozen of wolves and their mysterious forests. This was a very challenging field recording trip, from coordinating recording times with daily volunteering tasks to listening, cataloguing and editing […]
Hi! I started to write this post shortly after I launched a small funding campaign on Ko-Fi that would be able to cover the expenses of spending 12 days at Grupo Lobo. However, in very short time, mostly due to the amazing sound community on Twitter, the total amount was covered. You can find al […]
