Field Studies, A Visual Album

NOISE - TRANSFORMATION - CONTRAST

Field Studies is an audio-visual release of fifteen tracks in three parts. Officially launched at Ventnor Fringe Festival in August 2013 with a live performance, the album is the result of over two years of work by Magnetic Foragers. Noise, music and found sounds are combined with animation and video shot in England, Wales and Germany between 2010 and 2012.

Incorporating themes of identity, memory and communication, Field Studies is a multifarious work which blurs the boundaries between video art, music and sound art.
