About

Field recording at a waterfall
Microphone among icebergs

Outer Fields is a small collective devoted to listening closely to the world. We create high-quality sound libraries, plug-ins and data sonification projects that grow out of our field recording and programming practice, and we share them with the independent sound community we’re proud to be part of.

Our work starts outdoors: volcanic landscapes, glaciers, coastlines, caves and urban spaces, recorded on location and carefully edited so every sound is ready to use. The Sound Maps document many of these places, and Data Fields turns live and historical data, from wind and earthquakes to the aurora and glaciers, into sound.

We are artists ourselves, working across a wide range of projects, from music releases and installations to live performances and multimedia environments. Explore our work, and get in touch if you have a project in mind.
