“Listen to your world. It may be more interesting than all the things you buy to escape from it.” American writer Sasha Frere-Jones’ observation from 1999 comes 30 years after composer R. Murray Schafer introduced the term acoustic ecology, thus shaping the awareness for the musicality of soundscapes. This 46-minute mix proves Frere-Jones right – with field recordings by Alejandra & Aeron, Bill Fontana, Chris Watson, Paul Bowles and others.
