The Field Recording Show #13 - Mark Peter Wright

The Field Recording Show is a programme exploring the soundscape, recording, listening and composing hosted by Kate Carr and Luca Nasciuti.

This episode, our first in three years, features an extended interview with academic and artist Mark Peter Wright whose book Listening After Nature: Field Recording, Ecology, Critical Practice probes the ethical implications and erasures at the centre of constructions of field recording.

We discuss the silence of the recordist, encounters with more than human subjects, how the 'field' is configured and the entanglement of field recording technologies with environmentally and economically extractive processes.
