About Andrew Roth
For more than a decade Andrew Roth has been an active member of The Bay Area
sound community. After graduating from Oberlin College in 1995, he took up
residence at San Francisco's Earwax Productions, working on both popular
commercial and smaller independent projects ranging from radio to theme
parks, television, film, games, and everything in between. In 2001 Andrew
founded Natural Sounds, with the dual purpose of continuing his growing
post-production business as well as promoting a growing catalogue of natural
sound recordings captured during his travels.
The first of these, Natural Sounds of Costa Rica (now in its 7th printing)
provides a sampling of the myriad soundscapes of that Central American
country. After much delay, he will soon be releasing its follow-up, Natural
Sounds of Japan. This new collection covers an even greater variety of aural
terrain, tying in the rich cultural and historic fabric of the country, and
recorded across the entire archipelago throughout its many distinctive
seasons. The goal of all these recordings have been to create as complete a
transportive and immersive listening experience as possible. It is this
recent work that will be the focus of Andrew's presentation at BASEbot 002.
