about

This work is published with the article "Descriptive Sounds" By Eli Neuman-Hammond in the 4th issue of Field Notes, Gruenrekorder.

An excerpt:
Often enough, we mystify recorded audio and attribute to it a quality of similitude with sound vibrations in the world; the very term “reproducible sound” betrays this tendency. Audio technology assumes values of high definition, immersion, and verisimilitude, which stubbornly inform listening habits. It’s comfortable to rest in the clarity of a document, as though its fixed pattern confirms the lattice it imitates. The logic goes that since a recording is measurable, the situation it records is measurable too. Actually, the recording situation is irreducible to measurement, and a recording represents one partial, highly subjective description of a event, which after it becomes fixed during the recording process, also becomes measurable. Just as thirty people with a camera will come back with very different photographs from the same situation, so will thirty people given a microphone produce very different recordings.
