Bandcamp Daily: The Best Field Recordings of September 2026
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.

Last night at the stunning Chigiana in Siena. I was invited by Current Shapes to perform at the Organo Motore acousmonium, built by Nicola Facchini and Giuseppe de Benedittis. I love events like this, organized against the grain in small towns, with people showing up from the whole region.
