Elysian Fields - KXCI 91.3 FM I came across this piece this morning quite by accident. After giving it a listen, I had to get it. The recording is an interesting fictional travelogue through a city that might (but probably doesn't) exist somewhere. The intimacy of the recording is what really drew me in though. Definitely a recording for fans of found sound.

about

"What a relief to arrive at last in this new city. Your feet are restless, they take you across bridges and underneath construction sites, under the river even, where you embrace views that make you feel like you have ears all over your new body."

This travelogue grazes across sonic neighborhoods that might resemble Tbilisi, Batumi, Toronto, Havana, St. Petersburg, Ulyanovsk, Strasbourg, Marseille, Naples, Reggio Calabria, Lisbon and Barcelona. Or at least, the sound sources, the original copies, were first heard there.

Most of the recordings were made in 2018-2020 with Tascam DR-05 recorder and clippy EM172 omnidirectional microphones.
Partly based on my previous work Shadows of Mtatsminda, released on cassette at Szara Reneta label.
