When I was 21 I went backpacking around the world. Rather than taking a camera I took a sound recorder to document the environments I was wandering. I captured some amazing sound worlds, including talking birds in a Shanghai bird market, a pro-hunting rally along the River Thames in London and an eagle calling on a mountain top in the upper highlands of Scotland. Towards the end of the trip my minidisk recorder died (ahhh those were the days) and the recordings were largely left to collect dust.
So enter Postcard Audio… a way for me to send my recordings back into sonic soup. This is a side project from Textile Audio, and is not intended to replace the highly woven TA aesthetics of composition. Here I’m going to leave the sounds as they are, so that you can, hopefully, immerse yourself in the places I’ve walked. Updated erratically, with love and an afternoon cup of coffee.
