Piled-up improvisation on Quenas

Conversation Fields are a set of sound recordings made by Tom Allum from 2015 - 2024. The project prompts artists and musicians to respond to what they hear, enabling the creation of new collaborative works, the sharing of ideas and diversification of practices.

-
Field Listening: the deep and immediate sensing of landscapes.
Recording: choosing moments of meaning to draw back upon.
Archiving: moving data safely away from the ears.

This is now your conversation with the sound: listen, engage, make, share.
