The Field Recording Show #3 - Sound and Environmentalism
The Field Recording Show is a programme exploring the soundscape, recording, listening and composing hosted by Kate Carr and Luca Nasciuti.
This episode explores field recording in the era of climate change, and asks how we can use sound to participate in environmental activism. It features interviews with British recordist and artist Chris Watson and Australian audio-visual artist Polly Stanton. The pair discuss their work in the context of climate change, and examine the ways sound can be used to approach this urgent issue.
