Field Notes: A Sonic Exploration of Planet Terr

In his latest project, Field Notes, Holly Waxwinq presents a sonic distillation of five years of field recordings made on Planet Terr, located in the Virgo Supercluster. The project draws parallels between the flora, fauna, fungi, and topography of Terr and Earth, creating a fascinating audio exploration that transcends planetary boundaries.
