Somehow forgot to log this one.
Travelogue [Nepal] is the first in a series of collected international audio diaries. The premise is quite simple: the two galavant the globe with field-, EVP- and phone recorders and other devices where they record the essence of everything from the tiniest microcosms of nature on up to the polluted, diesel–fuelled roars of postmodern globalization. What surfaced are soundtracks that act as sonic documentaries of their travels.
I like combinations of ambient and field recordings, but they don’t always have the warm, human organic feel of this. Even the recordings of machines seem to have human voices in them.
One of those moments where I fully acknowledge and appreciate the privilege of being able to hear and own such things.
