Bodies Extend Themselves Toward a Breathtaking Absence of Limits

Earth.FM has the pleasure and honour to announce our collaboration with multidisciplinary artist, field recordist, and DJ, Cameron Randall.

His work involves composing through an assemblage of field recordings, electro-acoustic sound, sampling, synthesis, AI models, and digital processing. Previous work has involved sculpture, algorithms, sound, moving image, text, and installation, while his monthly series Listening With is broadcasted on Resonance FM.

In this sound piece, Cameron takes us on a journey across the planet featuring Earth.FM's recordings from this Solstice season, in a sound montage that is evocative and intense, surprising and utterly beautiful. In his own words:

"This piece was made from a selection of field recordings by a number of international field recordists around the time of the December solstice. The recordings are so rich and diverse and I was immensely inspired by their depth and detail. I am interested in the remixing, morphing, and translation of sound—where the audio both retains its original sonic quality while also becoming something new. Every sound you hear in this piece originates from the initial recordings provided to me. Some sounds are more obvious in their genesis; others are more opaque. This is a line I often like to blur and play with. Thank you so much to Melissa Pons for commissioning me to do the piece for Earth.FM."

To work creatively on precious natural soundscapes is an exercise of affection and appreciation for our world. We truly hope that his cosmic piece inspires you in many ways.
