This record left our Ant feeling happy.
Got a various artists compilation called Audible Geography on Room 40 that immediately hits the spot with opener 'Dundee Law' from Eric La Casa. A fantastic sound like a swarm of digital wasps sweeps across the room and then the howl of a freezing arctic wind. Then Stephen Vittiello serves up some field recordings of birds and traffic. Oohh a cockeral just did a big cockadoodledoo. It's a right old birdfest which makes me happy. One for the Chris Watson fans. The collection also features tracks from Lee Patterson, Asher, Jeph Jerman, Toshiya Tsunoda, Philip Samartzis, Marc Behrens, James Webb, Andrea Polli and Francisco Lopez. It's way out there Musiqe concrete, electroacoustic, ambient, minimal, detailed, adventerous electronic music that explores the extremes and subtlties of the genre with some quality sound design. If you're into this kind of stuff then I'd totally recommend it but if not then stay clear as it's probably a difficult listen.

What their label says...
Geography is an ongoing force shaping our understandings of the environments around us and, in turn, experiences ongoing transformation and development. Considering not only the natural world, but also culture, economy and politics in diverse settings and across many scales, contemporary geography acts as a glue - integrating disparate research streams and continuing to provide insights into our relations with space and place.
On Audible Geography, 11 sound artists were asked to consider the scope of geography today. The results are as varied as they are intriguing. The final edition is offered as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Australian Geographers.
