Sound recordist Colin Hunter 
Founder of the World Sounds project

Stereo soundscape recordings. Sometime nature, sometimes people, sometimes machinery. Sometimes quiet things like a single branch creaking in the wind on Dartmoor, sometimes odd moments in the city. Mostly local, but sometimes travelling. 

Principally playing original compositions of an ambient nature on the Hohner Guitaret as well as other thumb pianos/finger harps/lamellophones. Also the Hohner PIanet T which is a lamellophone thought rationalised. 

The Hohner Guitaret is an experimental thumb piano invented by Ernst Zacharias in the 1960s. More information can be found at the Friends of the Guitaret Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/47031707855/

Interested in orchestration using field recordings, per the great John Cage's suggestions (1937).

The pieces are all pataphysical book reviews. They consist of musical essays on books of the same title that haven't been written, but should have.

'Pataphysics is the science of exceptions, the science of the particular, and investigates the phenomena of alliance, variance and deviance. See Bök (2002) or Hugill (2012) for more. Gebrauchspataphysik is a swerve from 'Pataphysics via an alliance with Hindemith's gebrauchsmusik. See Hindemith (1952)
