Field Recordings by Jeff Gburek

Cafe Kafka

Inspired by the following haiku written by Konishi Raizan, a famous haiku poet of the Genroku period (1688-1704).
spring dream…
not becoming unhinged
is what’s unbearable

blood moon eclipse op 340

Composite field recordings modified and mixed with a live sound feed on September 15 reworked somewhat today in Suceava at Residentia de creatie. Thanks to Rustic Camping Spot and Dan Prodan for cooperation and letting me work in and around them. Recordings include VLF captures from Baile Herculane and shortwave radio and turntable. 

Viile Satu Mare Sept 15 Composition

Recordings from July 28 and 29 reflect the peculiar ambiance of a multitasking bridge over the Danube near Borcea, where the two counties divide. In the darkness the source of the various drones and incidental noises become mysterious because untraceable. Enjoyable because not so loud as to be alarming although sometimes these sounds can be disquieting. This is a work in progress for an album I hope to complete during my residency here in Suceava. Thanks to Dan Prodan, Zidul de Hartie and Rustic Camping Spot for their support.

microphones used were DIY hydrophones, DIY piezo-units buried in the sand and the on-board zoom binaural set at 120 degrees.
