snowfield by jamie drouin | lance austin olsen

originally released by infrequency editions in 2003, snowfield represents one of the earliest collaborative recordings of drouin & olsen. conceived for a sound installation of the same name at the folly gallery (lancaster, uk)*, snowfield used a remote snow-covered landscape in british columbia measuring the same dimensions as the gallery exhibition room. all sounds were derived from interacting within this zone, which were then played back on a quadraphonic system within the otherwise empty gallery later that year.

*the folly gallery sound installation was curated by lora carroll
