The Wire: Adventures in Modern Music
Will Montgomery On The Changing Uses Of Field Recordings
“The background to much of this upswell of activity lies in the concept of the soundscape, which originated within acoustic ecology through the pioneering work of the Canadian composer and theorist R Murray Shafer. Influential figures active in this area include David Dunn, Douglas Quin, Hildegard Westerkamp, Annea Lockwood and Bernie Krause, all of whom (as David Toop points out in his book Haunted Weather) have a relationship with experimental music. For many younger musicians, however, two figures have been central to the cross-fertilisation between environmental recording and experimental music: Francisco Lopez and Chris Watson.”
