Sara Ludy’s field recordings involve a smart broadening of the term’s meaning. Working primarily in digital media (video, animated gifs), Ludy’s recordings are of the hybrid interior/exterior world of Second Life. She gives simple descriptions: Second Life field recording from location 134, 133, 36 in Help Island Public. A couple discusses how there are bored nerds all over the world. or, Second Life field recording from location 105, 159, 2001 in the SOUNDS MALL. A square room containing 11 wall-mounted boards of demo sound effects is recorded in sequential order around the room. Headphones recommended. Posted on the audio site Soundcloud, the works sit among such recordings as Ulverston busker at market street on thursday morning, and Gewitterregen / Thunderstorm. The connection between her process and the classical method of field recording is more than just in name. While making these recordings, Ludy is in a wild place whose sounds are as alien to most of us as any distant forest or subway.
