026 excerpt
field recordings _ 36 min _ 2025


the fifth edition of this ongoing series is dedicated to sipoonkorpi national park and its surrounding areas. this project emerges as an extension of signal extraction, expanding its framework by sharing fieldwork and presenting a selection of sound samples, some of which are incorporated into the final composition.

in contrast to previous initiatives that relied exclusively on stereo environmental recording, this edition introduces complementary devices: a contact microphone and the soma system, designed to capture infrasonic frequencies. this methodological expansion enables the articulation of multiple layers of listening —vibration transmitted through matter, standardized capture, and that which lies beyond human audition— thereby challenging the notion of a singular “sonic document.” listening itself, conceived through these multiple subjectivities, generates tensions and ambivalences that interrogate the very idea of boundary or limit.



electromagnetic residues generated by human activity are omnipresent: dispersed, spectral, ubiquitous, yet constant in increasingly saturated environments. by proposing a mode of listening that weaves together the audible and the inaudible, this project seeks to reflect on how, today, the natural and the artificial are no longer opposed, but interlaced as layers of a shared palimpsest. machines are not merely introduced into the natural realm; they have become inseparable from it, embedded within its material fabric.

in continuity with earlier projects — outside recordings vol. 1 – iceland or one step back, everyone! — this work explores new strategies for documenting and problematizing the experience of cohabiting natural environments. rather than concealing technological mediation or my own presence, I place myself within the acoustic narration. I do not seek to stand behind what I record: my equipment, my listening, and my presence are unequivocally part of the forces shaping this ambiguous sonic spectrum.
