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.

unfields08 - tleilaxu - ringing rocks
in november of 2007, i was invited by some friends to go on a hike through ringing rocks park near new hope, pennsylvania. as the last ice age ended, retreating glaciers left behind huge rock fields in their place. some of the rocks at this park, it was told, would produce a ringing sound when struck. the internet says that these are called sonorous rocks or lithophonic rocks. there's a stream that runs through the park as well, creating the occasional waterfall. these are some of the noises that rocks and water make.tleilaxu
