Re: feild music / not field recordings



Has anyone on this list ever considered thinking about sound as a field in
the ways artists such as pollack or newman considered themselves field
painters?

The idea that no central points exist, and the painting is something that
continues off the canvas. There is alot more to this than stated, but you
get the base general idea.


I definitely have...this concept was one of the main inspirations behind the name of the Stasisfield label.

As for my own work, it's also been a huge influence, although I don't know if I've ever been able to come up with a sufficient means of expressing it. I've used devices like a chiasm structure (starting at certain point, working towards a different point, then moving backwords through the process to finish back where the piece began) and constant drones or subtle repeated loops above which random/chance-based sound events happen.
