Black Cormorants
IHab159. ALEXANDROS HADJITIMOTHEOU
The Great Black Cormorant Chant
«April 18, 05:45, Lake Petres, Amyntaio, Greece.
Perched upon a modest hill, I survey the landscape before me, where leafless trees stand in
front of a serene lake.
A congregation of cormorants occupies the branches of these trees.
My elevated position on the hill resembles of an amphitheater. The sound, enveloping me,
appears to lack a discernible center. The sound, enveloping me, conjures images of a boat
navigating the waves.» |
Dawn Chorus
IHab158. IAN ANDREWS - Dawn chrous, before the fires
«Recorded at Den Road, Mooral Creek in the Birpai (Biripi) Nation, Mid North Coast NSW, Australia in December 2010, very close to the earliest sunrise of the year.
The recordings reflect the birdlife at this site before the devastating bushfires of 2012
and the ‘Black Summer’ fires of 2019-20.» |
Amalgamation of Sounds
IHab157. ROBERT COLE RIZZI - ALBUM 2023

IHab156. FACUNDO G. AGUIRRE - Aguas de Colonia
«Recordings of a trip made in May 2018 to Colonia de Sacramento, República Oriental del Uruguay, using a mobile phone (Microsoft Lumia 640) directly from the internal microphone, processed in personal studio between the years 2020 and 2022.» |
Foresting
IHab155. IVONNE VILLAMIL & JIMMY SOLORZANO - Garraf
«Based on field recordings captured with contact microphones in the region of Parc del Garraf in Catalunya, in August of 2022. It emerges from the listening and the encounters of the entities in the site and their interaction.
Transductions of cicadas, roots, ants, trunks, branches, soil and wind through piezoelectricity and geophony; it explores close vibrations, inaudible or apparent, therefore amplifying the perception of the encounter.» |
Downpour
IHab154. YAMA YUKI - Tufan
«For this work I used solely the sounds of a typhoon that I experienced over the summer. That day, I recorded what happened during the 24 hours from the arrival of the typhoon, then, I composed a track upon these materials.
The strong winds caused abrupt changes in the soundscape, hitting the surface of things outside. Rain washed over the streets, water flew rapidly, and insects seemed to respond to the surrounding noises with their singing.» |
Roosters
IHab153. STELARK
Clandestinidad no es sinónimo de maltrato
«Among the hustle and bustle, the revelry, the vallenatos (popular music of the Colombian Caribbean), the bets, the games... the confrontations with death took place on a night of cockfighting inside the Pringamosa, a cockfighting club that ceased to exist a couple of years ago.» |
Brainoise
IHab152. RODRIGO BARUCH - Ruido abajo
"What we hear on this album is not just natural noise, since the recording device also adds its own noise, which is what we receive/perceive at the moment of capturing this record. In rural areas we can become more aware of the acoustic environment when those high urban decibels have dropped, when our ears are emptied of those saturations of noise environment of the city, to then hear a "hum", now yes, more attenuated." |
Fireworks
IHab151. DAVID PRESCOTT-STEED - 20 21 22
"This field recording of fireworks was made from my backyard in the Melbourne suburb of Pascoe Vale in earshot of various 2021/22 New Year celebrations." |

Seascape
IHab148. SRTN - Lamar
"The Lamar album proposes the creation of a non-existent sea, a sound fiction made from the superimposition of two soundscape recordings." |
Cable cars
IHab148. ALMA LAPRIDA - Teleférico
"Recordings of cable cars and its surroundings made in january 2013.
Riding and recording cable cars and chairlifts in the surroundings of San Carlos de Bariloche, in the Argentinean Patagonia, saved me from a disastrous trip. Suspended in the air with my headphones on, I looked at the mountains and imagined their shapes as sound waves." |
Creating memories
IHab147. KORY REEDER
Self-portrait as a Meditation on Someone Else
“There is nothing “pure” about this piece - rarely is a sound truly heard in isolation - but this is also the experience of memory, and our selective, yet never clear recollections of past." |
Storm Mountain
IHab146. SAMUEL SAHLIEH - Arashiyama
“Arashiyama is an evening walk along the banks of the Katsura River.
Recorded in September 2016 in Kyoto, Japan." |

WLD 2020
IHab143. DALLAS SIMPSON
World Listening Day 2020 - Lambley Dumbles
“We cannot segregate the human heart from the environment outside us and say that once one of these is reformed everything will be improved... (Our) inner life moulds the environment and is itself also deeply affected by it...”
Shoghi Effendi, 1933. |
Off Fire
IHab142. SRTN -
Rastros Tierra del Fuego
The immensity of an apparently empty, desolate landscape that evokes abandonment, loneliness and also a place whose history is blood stained by human ambition, is exposed here through various audio recordings, made at the end of 2017 in Russfin, Tierra del Fuego. |

Through the seasons
IHab137. STEVE ASHBY & DANIEL BARBIERO
The elongated Path
The five pieces making up The Elongated Path, bear the sometimes overt and sometimes covert influences of the three seasons of winter, spring and summer. The pieces were constructed of composed and improvised double bass performances from January and June, 2017, to which were added electric guitar and electronics as well as field recordings taken at the Rice River Center in March, 2016 and July, 2017. |
Everyday poetry
IHab136. JOHN COLLINS McCORMICK -
No most fatigue
"No Most Fatigue" combines field recordings made on an iPhone over the past five years, with light synthesis. The project acts like sonic snapshots of friends and relatives, places and moments. The title relates to the way I've composed these pieces in that some choices are nonsensical while others follow a trajectory of comparison or similarities. The pieces operate like poetry made from sounds of memories. |
1.7-30 Mhz
IHab135. JUAN JOSÉ CALARCO -
espectro
'Espectro' (spanish) stands for both spectrum as radio-frequency spectrum and spectre as a ghostly presence.
All sounds comes from shortwave and LF radio transmissions, mostly untreated, even what it sounds like
some morning birds comes from intriguing broadcasts like boat communications, time signals, number
stations and other mysterious sources.
Includes special photo document by Cristian Espinoza. |

Flying away
IHab131. JUAN ANTONIO NIETO -
Airports & Hotels
Airports & Hotels is a compilation of the sounds I have found in the trips I have made in recent years.
The sources of these sounds are field recordings made at different airports, on airplanes and in hotels. In these last ones the recordings are improvisations with the elements that I found in them and their different stays. These recordings were made with the windows open to capture the sounds of the outside, rain, traffic, people talking, etc.

Trash fires gutter in steel canister
This album is a result of an improvisation session at David's studio where Juan José used DIY synthesisers and David acoustically performed with a number of objets, contact microphones, transducers and a sub woofer. |
Before and/or during
IHab130. UNA LEE -
in Transit: [& transitions]
When before and/or during traveling for work, not always feeling exactly excited, taking sound recordings or better described as listening to the environment through a sound recording device in a concentrated form is helpful to me in calming myself down and making me feel safe. This 31 minute long composition consists of 12 sound recordings taken over the course of 5 days in 3 countries, 6 cities and 3 houses between 2 homes of mine via 1 international airspace. The recordings are primarily simply juxtaposed after one another, somewhat depicting the last intercontinental journey that I’ve made, which was long and subsequently made me restless. |

IV
IHab125. LUÍS ANTERO -
O rio / The river, Vol. 4
Initially, the ambient and hypnotic sound produced by Luís Antero presages a trip to a sound record
that has as narrative the sounds, history and stories
of the region of the mountain range. Thus, in this
sequence, the phonographic material becomes, in
a certain way, an almost cinematographic record that
has as a film the evocation of the past - without ever forgetting the present - and the oral history of the
narrators that give life to people again camouflaging
them.
-Alexandre Relvas |
Brutalism
IHab124. A.J. HOLMES -
Robin Hood Gardens - Tour
Robin Hood Gardens, is a residential housing estate in Poplar, London designed in the late 1960s by architects Alison and Peter Smithson completed in 1972 and now scheduled for demolition. |
Clock hand movement
IHab123. MANUEL CALURANO -
Ciclos sonoros
Listening is one of the best experiences which make us aware of the complex nature of time and of our relationship with it. It also helps us to understand time itself, in the sense that it may be altered by different kind of stimuli. It is by means of the clock hand movement, or by the division of time in days, weeks, months, years, and so on, that we can create an almost unalterable plot which prevents us from our own subjectivity.
