Environments 12: New Concepts In Acoustic Enrichment
Futura Resistenza - Cat No: RESLP038
- updated:2025-08-07
Highly recommended! A reconstruction built from the music of "ENVIRONMENTS" (1969–79), the legendary environmental-sound series by the one and only IRV TEIBEL, carrying its achievement forward into the future. A packaged version of reworks created for an 8-channel sound installation. By blurring the lines between original and creation, human and machine, it's an experimental sequel that takes a fresh look at the very essence of field recording.

Another outrageous release from 〈FUTURA RESISTENZA〉, the mecca of DIY leftfield sound. Any record collector keeps running into the "ENVIRONMENTS" series at record stores — the original environmental-sound series — and here comes a sequel for the future, researching, sampling and reconstructing that very material. A collection of reworks made for an 8-channel sound installation by "MACHINE LISTENING," a research body focused on the computation of sound and voice. With newly added real and synthesized voices, it's a record that interrogates the essence of the original elements. A superb work realized with the cooperation of the Teibel estate and others.
