This is an open remix project with 11 original, downloadable 24 bit / 48kbps field recordings we captured to create the track Hidden-by-the-Wall (included in this playlist). We invite anyone to take these and use them to create something new. If you do, please post it here on SoundCloud and let us know – we very much want to hear what you do with them.

Hidden-by-the-Wall is a new soundwork by :zoviet*france: commissioned by Green Croft Arts as part of its Collision and Conflict project.

Collision and Conflict is a GPS-triggered geolocated sound walk, presented through the Echoes phone app, that follows a circular route between Walltown and Green Croft in Northumberland, UK. The route runs alongside and close by Hadrian's Wall, a vast Roman defensive fortification that runs east/west across northern England, marking the northwestern frontier of the Roman empire. While following the route, walkers can listen to each of the 14 new music, sound and spoken word Collision and Conflict compositions at the locations to which they've been allocated along the way. Hidden-by-the-Wall can be found along a stretch of open country between Walltown and Thirlwall, a high point from which the distant Scottish borders to the north and the North Pennines to the south can be seen.

In devising Hidden-by-the-Wall we set out to capture hidden and unnoticed sounds in the vicinity and recreate lost sounds that would have been heard decades ago but have now gone forever. The original field recordings that form the hidden and unnoticed sounds are here in this playlist. More about each track can be found in the description on its page.

Hydrophone Dropped into Horsetail Ponds

A binaural recording of marcescent oak leaves, dead but still on the branches, rustling in the breeze.

Unlike other deciduous trees, for reasons not fully understood, young oaks, along with beech and hornbeam, retain their dead leaves through winter, a characteristic known as marcescence.

A1 - Humbros - Sumac

Somewhere 2 comes from Slovakian artist Adela Mede, author of the spellbinding tape Szabadság that's easily one of the most astounding things we've heard this year. Guided by the potency of her raw vocals, Adela explores folk tradition through a kaleidoscopic buzz of processed electronics, her ineffable vocals shining through in pure lucidity.

Through this mix, Adela continues her exploration of the voice. Repeating vocals chants feed into haunting moments of dissonance, heightening the innate beauty of the unprocessed song that shimmers beneath.

'For Wind Poetry' releases October, 2022.

Wind Poetry

VAK 62 | yolabmi - Circulation

An immersive blend of old and new, Natalia Beylis’ work nestles itself in the in-between, peering through sunlit, muted gauze. World building and world destroying, alien but steeped in tradition. Beylis’ construction of place brings out everything from the quiet, a delicate balance where the gentle humming is audible. All floating down.
