The first full-length album of field recordings from The Wind.
The first full length album from radio show and audio artist The Wind, "Field Recordings of Fast Food Restaurants in Western North America" is a catalogue of new western sound, recorded from the hearpoint of a hard plastic seat.
Set in a variety of public facing corporate grey spaces (for purchasing and eating food in), this album takes a moment to listen to the sound of the places directly in between--far from the the lush, wild recordings of Gordon Hempton or Bernie Krauss, and on the heavily paved, fraying edge of the lively and cacophonous city soundscapes that John Cage loved and wrote about. Recorded over 7 years, and spanning from Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia, Canada to Oaxaca de Juarez, Oaxaca, Mexico, and California, Nevada, Montana, Utah and more, the 11 tracks paint a painfully realistic picture of the current built world that occupies the sweeping landscapes of the North American west.
