‘HS2 Ghostlands’ is a multi-disciplinary arts project created in response to the climate emergency and HS2, highlighting issues of deforestation, habitat destruction and biodiversity loss. This project is the result of working on location at 18 specific sites over a 5-month period collecting field recordings and conducting extensive research into HS2 and its environmental impact (the permanent destruction of 108 ancient woodlands and wildlife habitats). The final outcome of the project includes a digital archive of recordings in the form of an interactive sound map, a set of musical instruments hand-built by recycling natural materials found at the locations and a newly composed piece of experimental music titled 'Ghostlands'. 

'Ghostlands' combines all the environmental audio recordings of the locations with original musical compositions created in response to the spaces using found natural materials as instruments as well as original vocal, multi-instrumental and electronic compositions inspired by reading the shapes, colours, textures and structures found in the visual landscape of the woodland as a musical score. Some melodic elements are also inspired by echoing patterns in birdsong heard at the locations and some phrases are directly translated from the birdsong itself by converting the audio data of recordings into midi data which was then assigned the voice of an acoustic piano. The final musical piece uses a mix of traditional acoustic instruments, electronic instruments, vocals, a variety of hardware devices and my own hand-built instruments. By creating instruments from fragments of the landscape such as fallen branches, the musical compositions are not only framed by the sounds of the woodland in the field recordings but are also made from the sites themselves, literally resonating through the dead wood of these locations.

This is a preview of my second album from Alam-Pedja which is available here: https://andruskannel.bandcamp.com/album/alam-pedja-soundscapes-in-an-abandoned-farmhouse-nature-recordings

This is my second album that contains nature recordings from the Alam-Pedja nature reserve from Estonia. When the first album presented with ​​how Alam-Pedja sounds through the year and in different habitats then the concept of this album is one day and in one selected location in Alam-Pedja. All recordings are made in the yard of an abandoned farmhouse located in a deep forest. I'll listen one day through audio recordings I made in May 2020 and 2021

Some information about the old farmhouse. The farmhouse was built for forest workers in 1938 during the time of the first Estonian republic. Up to 15 people lived there at the same time in 1956 and in 2004 the last resident of this farm died. Since then, the farm is empty.

Equipment:
Tascam Dr-100 MK III digital recorder
An Azden microphone pre-amplifier/mixer
Handmade phantom powered Primo Microphones with EM172 capsules. 24 bit 48kHz

released June 15, 2021

Thank you. Love ya.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative manoeuver.

I am regularly breaking the posting speed limit, so don't be alarmed if I don't repost some track you've sent me immediately or soon enough.  No one knows what the speed limit is. I'd love to be a law abiding citizen but it's impossible if the law is secret.  I will no longer write a "TEMP" note about it when it happens, since for all intended purposes it has become permanent.

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

Send me your ear (a photo), it's for my Superdance playlists, cover pages.

The music, all of it, the variety, the breadth and the depth of it, is what turns me on.

Anarchists give me hope.

Be smart about it, if you're seriously into politics and you associate with people who do the real work, anarchists if you wish, but many other people also, stay away from me.  I don't think anyone is tracking me now, but I think it's just a matter of time before some CSIS idiot, CIA idiot or FSB idiot, (I repeated "idiot" three times, bad form, on purpose, so as not to make anyone feel bad.  Didn't want to be chauvinist.) or some government agency somewhere does, because of the network here, of people from all over the world, like in other social media platforms, but here it's a little different.  The last thing I want to do is make it easy for authorities (goons) to hinder my friends in their valuable work.  Thank you.  !!!BUT for God's sake don't stop sending me music!  The music and the dance are the life force of everything.  I need it just like the other guy.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

London based experimental composer, pianist, producer and multidisciplinary artist working with sound, film, sculpture and installation.

I am interested in acts of translation and transformation, using sound as a way to describe visual, physical and emotional experience. My work often explores the idea of translating landscapes into sound and combines elements of ambient and electroacoustic music, minimalism and musique concrète.

I also work as a musician, writer, vocalist and producer as one part of electronic music trio 'LSN': @lsn-uk

i would describe my music as "Soundtrack Ambient"-Sonic Textures and Atmospheres layered or painted, one on top of the other.
