Benjamin Skepper’s fourth Solo album “IN THE FIELD” is a culmination of field recordings captured by the artist over the past six years of world travel.
Starkly different to his previous three solo releases, Skepper has recorded and collated a vast library of field recordings and sound files recorded during his voyages around the globe. A sound track of the world, this album takes us on a journey through Japan, Turkey, Italy, Australia and France. Each “sound trip” features up to 15 individual field recordings remixed and re-sampled, drawing on the artist’s critical compositional ability and deep exploration of the intersections between sound and music.
