Edgelands
Composed of field recordings made on the city periphery, as well as in the networks (power, transportation etc.) that connect these areas to their urban hub, ‘outskirts’ is the sound of the outer boundary of the conurbation and the lines that lead to that edge. particular attention was given to the way that landscape and climate affect the sounds, many of which were recorded from adjoining fields, forests or bodies of water in varying weather conditions.
A variety of contact, hydrophone and induction microphones were used to collect the sounds, many of which are in the infrasonic range.
