Its been a little time now, "Silent Landscapes No 2", which unsurprisingly features on the Recorded Fields release "Silent Landscapes", also appears on Gruenrekorder and CRISAP's "Autumn Leaves" download project which is the downloadable complement to the book of the same name. As one of the tracks on the complilation, it can now be said, perhaps with a shiny silver sticker on the front cover, that Silent Landscapes features the "award winning" track Silent Landscapes No 2, as Autumn Leaves was the winner of the best compilation award at this year's Qwartz Music Awards in Paris. Hurrah and so forth, congrats to Gruenrekorder and also to CRISAP, and of course to all the artists that made the project a success. Perhaps amusingly, the works are all field recordings and not strictly electronic, but it is a digital download, so touche to such petty amusements...

In more recent news, the first of the releases featuring work employing the Transparency resonating dubplate (of which the three virgin, hand-cut and limited edition dubplates are still available from the RF site) can be found via the excellent label Compost & Height. This nifty little 3 inch CDR, which is limited to 50 copies, is hand-sawn, -glued, -nailed, -stickered and will set you back a handy five pounds. The CDR is a split with Jez riley French and part of an excellent collection of works, which are mostly sold out (hint hint). Get one before someone else does. For details about "Largo Affetuoso" (recorded in Nijmegen and Berlin) and to get your copy go directly to the Compost & Height release page. Two more such releases are set to follow soon....

And after much talk and markedly less action, there are a couple of new Recorded Fields releases queueing up to get access to your ears. More news via this space or the RF website very very soon.
