About the work

A closer look.

Name a place. A street you grew up on, a city you moved away from, a market, a yard, a platform at night, a corner that means something. I go find a real field recording of that place, made by a recordist who actually stood there, and pair it with a real photograph of that same address. You get three things: - the recording, trimmed and cleaned, as an audio file - a real photograph of the same address - a short written note on the place, with the full credit: who recorded it, when, and under what license The recording is found, not made by me, and the label says so. The photograph is usually from a different day and a different season, so the sound and the picture rarely agree. I don't hide that. I point at it. It's the most honest thing about the pair. If no recording exists of the place you name, I tell you before you pay, and I offer the nearest real place instead, labeled NEAR, never passed off as the spot. Delivery within 3 days. One revision. The recording keeps its original license (public domain or Creative Commons), and I'll tell you plainly what you may and may not do with it.
