My Field Recording Journey - Gear & Lessons Learned

Over the last few years field recording has become an important part of my creative practice alongside my music. In this video I go through my entire journey with recording sound going right back to art college 30 years ago. I explore: why I started field recording the recording gear that I have tried the problems I have encountered such as wind and handling noise the setups that I use now and how I use field recordings in my work So If you're looking at starting field recording and you haven't got a big budget then this video might be of use to you.
