In summer 2023, George experienced a ruptured eardrum that made working with headphones or stereo sound temporarily impossible. So, when visiting Argyll in August, he decided to field record with equipment that could be monitored with one ear, or not at all.

All edits are 'in camera' and he deployed a wide range of extended micing techniques to change the quality of the audio. Starting on the ferry to Dunoon and ending at Glasgow Central Station, Argyll distills the whole three-day trip sequentially into one saturated object.

Argyll is a field recording sound object created by sound artist George Rayner-Law. It consists of recordings made directly to cassette in Argyll, Scotland.

"A misty dawn in the Laotian mountain forest of the Nam Kan National Protected Area. Singing under the summer rain, a couple of western Black crested gibbons, (Nomascus Concolor Lu) claim their territory. We can easily hear the rain hitting the sheet metal roof of a treehouse above the slope of the forest. Only found in northwestern Laos, Nomascus Concolor Lu is a critically endangered sub species of the black crested gibbon. This was recorded in collaboration with the ecotourism project "The Gibbon Experience" during the summer closing of 2017. The file is a binaural mixdown of an ambisonic recording."
