Matthew Blackwell surveys ten releases in Bandcamp Daily’s September field-recording roundup, covering environmental recordings, electroacoustic composition, and noise. Selections include Marja Ahti and John McCowen’s Errands, combining Reykjavik street recordings with extended clarinet techniques; Hannes Strobl’s Resonance IBK, built around Innsbruck’s transportation sounds; and Norman W. Long’s Un dialogue entre terre et mer, pairing Mediterranean coastal recordings with granulated instrumental samples.

Marc Masters surveys twenty releases in Good Experimental Music’s September roundup, with ten reviews and ten additional selections spanning drone, improvisation, electronics, and sound art. Featured releases include Cinchel’s The 4 Stages of Long Phase, Brittany Karlson and Nick Neuburg’s Duo: Vol. 1, Leafcutter John’s Warm Grit, and Rob Magill’s Subtle Chaos. The column covers double-bass and percussion improvisation, a gritstone turntable, and layered saxophone recordings.
