campfires, radio frequencies, lots of water, energy infrastructure, and what we thought sounded like wind, although it turns out it's modular synths and homemade string instruments. but you won't hold that against us, will you? we begin this edition with a framework blooper, recorded right here in estonia, and travel […]

the heat has hit estonia at last, so sounds from a swaying cornfield feel appropriate, and annie dodson delivers. thailand, i would imagine, was also quite warm at the time cm von hausswolff & chandra shukla's sounds were recorded, but the weather for maría bulla & juan bermúdez's walks through ithaca, new […]
