Field Tapes

Raw recordings from rooms and forests, unmastered.

Raw, unmastered, unfixed

Field tapes are the recordings before the studio — a room with a piano, a forest at 4 a.m., a generator humming in a barn. We release them as they landed, hiss and all.

How they're made

source    a real place, one or two mics
level     set once, never touched
mastering none — this is the point
format    digital + a limited cassette run

Why we do it

The hiss is the room's breath. Take it out and you've got a clean recording of nowhere.
