EarthWorks Sounds: A series of field recordings of monumental land art in the US

I am currently working on a series of field recordings of monumental land art in the US.

This project will be ongoing for at least the next year but I will be uploading recordings as I make them which can be found as a sound map on Radio Aporee 

So if you ever wanted to who what it is like to lie in the middle of Robert Morris' 'Johnson Pit #30' (distant jet engines and car noise) or Michael Heizer's 'Levitated Mass' (cars honking and teenagers taking selfies) then you are in luck.

I originally conceived of this project as a way to structure visiting these works. It has (sadly) turned into a study of encroaching noise pollution and the loss of the serenity and solitude that many of these works once held. Nevertheless, as bad as the anthropogenic noise in these recordings is now, it will almost certainly get worse and worse as time goes on and hopefully these will serve as some sort of documentation of what these works are now.
