analysing field recordings of electronic voices in Athens and Glasgow
1 online resource : illustrations (black and white, and colour)
Field recordings are audio recordings of the varied sounds of the world, produced outside of acoustically controlled spaces. As a research method, field recording offers intriguing possibilities for researchers interested in the sonic aspects of spaces and places. This exemplar explores how field recordings can be analysed as research data, using recordings of electronic machine voices from Scotland and Greece as examples. It will be of most use to researchers interested in the aesthetic and sensory aspects of environments, and those who wish to experiment with digital media methods.
