Hi all,
'Listening to places' is a series of place-based soundscapes, incorporating field recordings, electro-acoustics and digital media.
The second album of this series is published recently: http://www.gruenrekorder.de/?page_id=301
"Budhaditya Chattopadhyay is drawing attention to the rapid social and geocultural transformation of his native India on his latest album. Landscape in Metamorphoses, a 26-minute collection of field recordings on German label Gruenrekorder, documents the stormy environmental changes taking place in Tumbani, 'one of the busiest industrial belts at the Bengal-Bihar border'. Recorded between February and April of last year with little more than a simple MD recorder and a binaural microphone, 'Landscape in Metamorphoses' aims at delivering both a vivid sonic snapshot and a strong political statement"
