welcome to the the unfields series! here you get a palette of downloadable field recordings at no cost. you are free to use these samples (under the terms described in this licence) to further your own sound experimentation and music production. the unfields are audio snapshots of the world that surrounds us, taken from the subjective point of view of the artist who recorded them. they are provided as is, without any processing, along with the inevitable imperfections which are inherent during this kind of recording procedure. the recordings are complemented by a series of pictures and a short text written by the author that illustrate the circumstances of the recording.

unfields07 - d-click - frioul

on january 4, 2005, i decided to make a trip back to a place where i used to go regularly when i was a kid between the ages of 7 and 11 -- on frioul island in the bay of marseille -- where my family and i would go in the summers. during my trip on the shuttle-boat from the old harbour to frioul, i took a few pictures but didn't record any sound. i started to record after i arrived on the island -- wandering around the harbour and a variety of familiar spots which reminded me of my childhood. then i walked through the "calanques" alternating picture-taking and sound-recording. in the end, i explored the entire island to gather sounds for this compilation.
