Special: From First Recording to Online Archive (2026)

Special: From First Recording to Online Archive Occasionally I share some extra information, background, or an anecdote about my field recordings. This is the second episode of The Field Recording Podcast where I do that. In this special episode I describe how I first got into making field recordings and how it grew into this online archive. I also explore various aspects of making this kind of recordings — what I consider important, and what not. Since I wasn't sure I could record the narration myself with the quality I wanted, I opted — as with the previous Special — for an AI-generated voice from ElevenLabs. But the story is mine, and all the field recordings you hear are authentic recordings from my archive. Enjoy listening — and let me know what you think! I made a list of all the field recordings you can hear in this episode, but it's longer than SoundCloud allows — so you can find the full list here: https://storage.thijsgeritz.nl/s/Tracklist_Special_2
