You know field recordings, correct? How they are supposed to embody a particular environment or space. Well, let’s say somebody wanted to make a field recording without nature. Anders Dahl (named after a famous Swedish botanist) does exactly that. Each sound on here isn’t natural; it has been artificially created in order to create a new experience.
Insect buzzing, the sounds of birds, and water drops are all part of the aural landscape. This sort of sucks you in, slowly. It truly is one of those immerse “I can’t believe somebody did this” experiences. Perhaps the experience becomes even more overwhelming once you realize that the artist spent 4 years compiling the sounds into something which feels so relaxed and natural.
Had Luc Ferrari lived to see this, he would’ve been positively thrilled. The amount of effort needed to bring this together is absurd; quite honestly, most musicians wouldn’t have bothered to put in the time. Yes, this isn’t something you’d want to return to very often, but on a cold dead winter day, it reminds you of the warmth that summer brings.
