Intervenes in contemporary debates about the relationship between
literature and field recording A field recording is any audio
recording made outside of the studio. Such recordings have lately
become important to contemporary musicians, sound artists and
environmentalists. However, less attention has been given to the
relation of sound, as manifested in the theory and practice of the
field recording, to writing. The 11 essays collected here take the
recent explosion of interest in field recording as the point of
departure for an investigation of the sounded field in music and
its relationship to literature and writing. Including seminal
pieces on field thinking by John Berger and Lisa Robertson, Writing
the Field Recording analyses contemporary text scores, histories,
composer statements, critical literature, poetry and nature writing
in the context of sound studies. Drawing on expertise from a range
of backgrounds, including composers, musicians, poets and critics,
the collection presents an inter-disciplinary exploration of the
various registers in which the field recording is written, such as
the essayistic, the creatively exploratory, the experimental and
the philosophical alongside critical reflections on artistic
practice. Key Features Focuses on sound in relation to poetry,
poetics and nature / landscape writing Includes contributions from
published poets Lisa Robertson, Carol Watts and Jonathan Skinner
Includes the classic essay, 'Field', by John Berger Accompanying
sound recordings made accessible via the Resources tab on the
Edinburgh University Press website
