« The Field Recording Show » Field Recording in Contemporary Art #6

This episode examines the rising use of field recording within contemporary art. It features interviews with the British artist Anne Hardy, and the South African artist James Webb. Anne takes us through her process of embracing sound as part of her practice, with a focus on her latest work The Depth of Darkness, the Return of the Light, unveiled at Tate Britain last month. James examines the role of sound in his 20-year long ongoing installation work Prayer, which features recordings of vocal worship. There is also an artist introduction by Colombian sound artist David Velez, known for his live cooking concerts.

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