Split Frequencies is a compilation of audio collected on my travels throughout 2018. The album consists of 15 of tracks made in Germany, Ireland, UK, Bosnia, Switzerland, Croatia, Sweden, Denmark, USA, Switzerland and France. I draw on traditional field recording techniques and technologies as well as more experimental and extended methods. Split Frequencies includes recordings made with spaced omnidirectional microphones, mid-side and quadriphonic arrays, piezo elements, electromagnetic receivers, transducer feedback and hydrophones. Some recordings were made on field trips with Chris Watson, John Bowers, Tess Denman-Cleaver, Jacek Smolicki and James Davoll.
All tracks are made from a single take with minimal audio processing and ‘top and tail’ editing.
This album is part of an annual gathering of field recordings. Each year I compile my favourite environmental sounds from the previous year and give them away for free via my Bandcamp. Anyone is welcome to download and use the recordings as they wish, with or without credit. I have been overwhelmed the generosity of some listeners from the last 3 years. Your donations have helped facilitate my ongoing field recording practice. Thank you.

There's a lovely subtlety at play here, where I can't tell what's looping and what's not. Despite the titles not offering much in the way of explanation, I think there's humor, nostalgia, and great care in this collection. Ned Milligan

Gum chewing combined with Contrabass hums inside a cave.
A big giant snake that is dreaming with three headed dogs roaring.
Strings and Papers attached to the very center of earth.
And woooods wooodss woooods everywhere

Pulsing drones give way to disarming melodies on the new one from Ophtalmologist, with all the deep-sea spookiness the title implies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 22, 2023
This gentle experimental album from Fantasma do Cerrado captures the hidden worlds of the villages of the São Paulo State inlands. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 12, 2022
