The Field Recording Show #7 - Listening

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

This final episode in our first series examines the practice of listening. It features interviews with the Swiss artist and academic Salomé Voegelin and the Canadian composer Hildegard Westerkamp.

Salomé reflects on the last 10 years within sound studies, and the development of her thinking and practices of listening and sound making over this time.

Hildegard takes us back to the very early years of soundscape awareness, discussion and analysis. Beginning with her work with Murray Schafer in Vancouver in the early 1970s, she reflects on her profound and multifaceted journeys into listening, composition and soundwalking.
