And, from email post-show:
"here are the links to the 2 albums which i mentioned:
https://galaverna.bandcamp.com/album/sceneries-from-the-castellated-wall
(galaverna is an excellent site for field recording based work)
the other one is:
http://censoredproductions.blogspot.com/2012/05/de-deep-dimensions-cp-18.html
these are just 2 albums which i can specifically point to which pushed me to become interested in using field recording in my own work. many other excellent releases exist."
"sorry, just on a final note, here is another 'sound postcard' by Felix Blume which appeared on Arte Radio (field recordings remixed):
https://soundcloud.com/arte-radio-1/los-gritos-de-mexico
and here the visual / sound installations i mentioned:
http://rhizomatiks.com/archive/sensing_streams/en/
http://www.nerdcore.de/2014/11/13/dude-hacks-his-hearing-to-listen-to-wifi/"
"just to add to the notes on the other CC person whom I mentioned;
he is Andras Kiss from Hungary (not Bulgaria as I mistakenly said before) on soundcloud,
he also releases under the name Urenga and used to run the Censored Productions netlabel (though sadly no longer).
Lastly, more info (and some audio) on my sound installation here."
