******************************
On 15th-16th February the British Library will be holding a two day symposium
that seeks to open up and explore the practice, art and craft of field
recording through a series of panel presentations, listening sessions and screenings.
Starting from the early days of field recording, the symposium aims to relate
the multitude of contemporary field recording practices to their historical
precedents and investigate issues in contemporary practices. These include: How
field recordings are distributed to and heard by an audience; Recording the
unheard; Mapping the urban; and questioning the extended nature of the field in
a digital networked landscape. Participants include:
Chris Watson (http://www.chriswatson.net/)

the Arts) and is part of the Sounds of Europe project.
