In fact, the first thing I felt or felt after reading this article about the artist Chris Watson was admiration and a little bit of envy. I admire the artist Chris Watson for his exploration of life, nature and even the planet, for his perseverance in surviving the extreme conditions of the wilderness for the sake of a sound that he wants to record. Not only that, but in the article he mentions that recording with a tape recorder can be seen and used as a musical instrument, and I actually agree with this. In my opinion, the process of recording all kinds of sounds is a process of reinvention and creation, and every time you explore a sound and record it, you are creating a note. I also agree with his view that a sound or audio represents a memory or experience for each of us, and that people will start to mobilise their memories when they hear a particular sound, and then imaginary images will emerge.
I also learned from some of the recommended recording equipment he shared, and although I can’t afford many of them right now, I’ll be adding them to my Wishlist, such as the Schoeps double M-S array, DPA 4060, Sanken COS11 and so on.
