PLACES : Field Recordings in Digital Landscapes
Using datamoshing techniques to experiment with extracting sound from online digital media, PLACES is a series of field recordings from digital landscapes. The four tracks are four 'field recordings' from four different locations, extracted from wanderings through online satellite imagery or 'photo-spheres'. The four locations are specifically four different shorelines where water and land meet, be it via glaciers or wetland ecosystems. The point of contact between water and land is also the point of contact between far-away places, on a terrestrial and physical level. The internet and online world also acts as a space where debris and ephemera from far away places meet, where trajectories cross and distances are bridged. This compilation explores the sonic textures of a network architecture, where digital space bridges physical distance, creating points of contact, or shorelines and territorial edges, where objects/debris/data encounter eachother. Here, noise is understood as a brackish liquid which moulds itself to every shape, absorbing and eroding material coming in, and going out.
