A Beginner's Guide To Field Recording - Electronic Sound (Compilation / 2 x CD)

Various "A Beginner's Guide To Field Recording"
Label: Electronic Sound
Cat: ESCD79
Released: 2021
Genre: Fieldrecordings

Wolfgang Dorninger contributed "Spinning The Prayer Wheels (Kathmandu, Nepal)" to the compilation via Cities and Memory.

It's funny to mention that I only found out about the existence of this recording in 2025 via archive.org. Neither Cities and Memory nor Electronic Sound informed me about it, which I would have been very happy about. Unfortunately, I can't write anything about the recording yet; I have to get hold of it on the second-hand market first.

A recording done August 5th, 2008 in Kathmandu, Nepal. You can find more fieldrecordings taken by Dorninger during his recording and film trip to Nepal on the BikeMike website.
