The project radio aporee ::: maps started in 2006. it is a global soundmap dedicated to phonography, field recording (and related practices) and the art of listening. it connects sound recordings and places, in order to create a sonic cartography, open to the public as a collaborative project.

Cutting branches into two wheelbarrows
From Justin Buckley
An unedited field recording of three gardeners (including myself) cutting branches into smaller segments into two wheelbarrows. Although the recording wasn’t made with any musical intention nor was the branch cutting done as a performance, there’s still a nice interplay between the snipping sound of the shears against the bangs of the falling branches into the wheelbarrows. Credits for the ‘non-performance’ go to fellow gardeners Fumi Takayanagi and Ronny Holzmüller (who is by the way also on Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/paul-novik).
