The book “In the Field: The Art of Field Recording”, which includes a chapter on Binaural/Nodar’s artistic director Manuela Barile, has just been published.
The book consists of a collection of interviews with contemporary sound artists who use field recording in their work. From its early origins in wildlife sound and in ethnographic research, field recording has expanded over the last few decades into a diverse range of practices which explore and investigate aspects of the lived environment, from the microscopic to the panoramic, through the medium of recorded sound. These conversations explore the fundamental issues that underlie the development of field recording as the core of their activity.
