Silent Landscapes, the first volume in
Recorded FieldsÆ ôField Recording
Seriesö, reveals four crisp,
meticulously layered vignettes composed
from field recordings made throughout
Australia. Somewhere between beauty and
brutality, the restrained fury of this
landscape becomes quietly perceptible
upon the threshold of silence; creating
an intense exploration of uncharted
territories at the edge of human
experience. This country, given voice
through one of the worldæs oldest living
cultures, can unexpectedly raise its
whisper to a storm of sound for those
with patience enough to wait and listen.
Composed from unprocessed recordings
made between 1999 and 2008 in places
that include some of the worldÆs oldest
- the 2.5 billion year-old rock-shelves
of the Tanami Desert in north Western
Australia, Litchfield National Park and
Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory;
volcanic fields by the imposing Mount
Warning (Wollumbin) in northern New
South Wales; the desolate open plains
between the Channel country and Barkly
Tableland in Central Queensland; along
Indigenous songlines that cross and
connect the ancient continent û from
Muggadah (Echo Point) in the Blue
Mountains near Katoomba to Coober Pedy
in South Australia - these recordings
combine to present a compelling insight
into the experience of space, place and
time across a country that can offer
much but often says little.
