Gene Pool#69: Jez riley French

July 21, 2014

The life of the field recording artist explored in conversation with Jez Riley French.

Independence and integrity of artistic practice are strong themes with the globetrotting Yorkshire-man whose DIY JrF contact microphones have become something of an industry standard tool among sound artists.

We discuss community, microphones and recording equipment including geophones, hydrophones and contact microphones as well as vibrating staircases and the "Stairway to Heaven" of the field recording world.

This podcast features some original recordings made during a weekend workshop led by Jez as well as audio from his own archive material.
