Over the last few years field recording has become an important part of my creative practice alongside my music.
In this video I go through my entire journey with recording sound going right back to art college 30 years ago.
I explore:
- why I started field recording
- the recording gear that I have tried
- the problems I have encountered such as wind and handling noise
- the setups that I use now
- and how I use field recordings in my work
You can find my field recordings here:
Bandcamp: https://soundbymark.bandcamp.com
Substack: https://whirrings.substack.com
So If you're looking at starting field recording and you haven't got a big budget then this video might be of use to you.
And also if you are a musician who is wanting to start integrating field recordings into your practice then you might also find this interesting.
Still made with just my iPhone! 🎶😎
