Haunted Field Recordings

This week we bridge recent episodes exploring the worlds of field recording with upcoming episodes in Gothic Music. We explore the "haunting" of audio space through binaural field recordings in light of Dr. Isabella van Elferen's work on Gothic Music and the sonic dimensions of the Uncanny. After a brief introduction we head deep underground for an uncanny subterranean artist residency in Italy, slosh through a mine in Luxembourg with binaural recordings from Vincent Duseigne, and experience an uncanny fugue of our own with help from this week's quotes and recordings... Many thanks to artists on Soundcloud and Radio Aporee sharing their binaural recordings! They include: Bratislava train station: https://soundcloud.com/fields-by-gruska/bratislava-train-station-binaural-recording Cagliari, Italy: http://aporee.org/maps/?loc=30369&m=satellite'>radio aporee ::: maps - Cagliari, Italy. About which the link says: "During an artist residency at Cagliari 2015, Signe Lidén spent as much of her time in the underground spaces of Cagliari as in the city above. Through sound recordings and conversations with people who in various ways have devoted their lives to the subterranean, she has researched the relationship with the places on both sides of the earth´s surface.
