{"product_id":"contact-field-orchestra-vol-1","title":"Contact Field Orchestra- Vol. 1 (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited gold vinyl LP pressing. \"In 2008 I came across a box of 7\" tapes at an estate sale in Altadena. The woman there said that they had belonged to her father and were \"field recordings\" of a turn-of-the century orchestra. It took me maybe another year to actually load them up and transfer them to the computer. When I did, what I found was an incredible documentation of indigenous folkloric music that was meticulously recorded and then later transferred to 2-track tape sometime in the 1960's. The tapes were labeled \"Contact Field Orchestra\"- a collection of field recordings that seem to date from sometime around the turn of the 20th century (possibly a little earlier). The sound this orchestra created is like something out of a Jim Jarmusch film, and reminds me of an old Library of Congress or Folkways recording. The music itself is full of opposites - hypnotizing and odd; meditative and jarring. It's strangely familiar, but also distantly unrecognizable. Some songs are more minimalist in their approach, building up a rhythm with mbiras and percussion, while others seem to have much more harmony and tonal structure and almost Blues\/Country feel. Either way, they had me hooked from the first bar, and I find myself returning to it again and again, irregardless of my heavy-handed noodling... I'm really happy to have discovered this, and I hope you are too. All the best,\" Damon Aaron\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron Pyrite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Cave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTobacco Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInto the Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMan Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Autumn Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCart Before the Horse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWishing Well 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLazzyman 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBailar Phone 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePick and Axe 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Trigger 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaja 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerigee Campfire 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand Cranked 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoodbury Gamelan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 659123108812\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Hit \u0026amp; Run\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46974521344221,"sku":"659123108812","price":145.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3822136.jpg?v=1762833265","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/contact-field-orchestra-vol-1","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
