Every day at dusk thousands of crows and jackdaws gather outside this building converging on the rooftops and trees to roost for the night. This morning I got up and made my [...]

This is a question I’ve been asking myself ever since I realized that “field recording” was something of a viable genre for many working with sound. Before hearing the term “field recording” (and I’ll throw in Phonography), I never thought much in making a distinction between working in or out in the field. I recorded [...]

and/OAR video gallery

Dale Lloyd has put together a nice set of video works on the and/OAR site he’s culled from the YouTube plethora. Its nice to get the occasional “curated” perspective as there always seems to be some new material to discover through someone elses view.
