Wandering Ear
Midwest Society forAcoustic Ecology + World Listening Project - Christopher Preissing, Curator
![]() |
Launched in 2006, Wandering Ear is a net.label dedicated to releasing field recording-oriented audio from around the world. The concept is deliberately open-ended to accomodate the unexpected. Wandering Ear is co-curated by Nathan Larson and Mike Hallenbeck. the empty space, destitute of activity, once inhabited, teeming with life, leaving traces in the earth, on their walls, in the air abandoned or never inhabited a sonic odor, once removed remains etched in the subconscious |

Episode 2: Urban Archeology
produced by John Kannenberg
Long-standing human settlements leave a material record of their past. Can this evidence also exist in sonic form? What soundmaking materials in urban areas contain information about past eras? What data exists in the sonic strata of cities?
From the sounds of resurrected, obsolete equipment, to the echoes of an ancient passageway, to the sound of footsteps treading the same ground others have walked on in ages past, urban areas teem with sonic history.
“This episode of Framework:Afield travels to five continents to present Urban Archeology, the sounds of history that surround us — the sonic strata of cities.” - John Kannenberg
