Jennifer Lucy Allan pays a visit to the London studio of field recordist, sound artist and founder of the Flaming Pines label, Kate Carr.

Thank you! I think all is going well.

Five days since I had (minor) eye surgery and had 2 days where I could barely open eyes at all. Obviously only a tiny insight into having a different sensory array but I did notice how much more I was hearing, which given I live in a v noisy area was not a good thing. ‘Hear less ears’ I now intone.

Yes this makes sense of course too. I would say for sure I also have less time these days but also much slower. Finding ways to be happy is the main thing and challenge in so many arenas of life these days I would say. Glad you are able in your creative work.

Yes very true. I fee the same. I’m becoming much slower and more critical about what I make and why. Is a good feeling really but sometimes I notice how slow I am compared to when I began! Hope you are going as well as can be in these crazy times Siavash.

I make music. I want to continue this thing i've been doing for 2 decades profesionally.

Much love🖤

I’ll be on NTS channel 2 on Wednesday (24th Sept) at 10 AM with a mix for its Roots series.

An hour-long journey into Ireland’s experimental undergrowth. Subterranean sean-nós, ambient trad excursions, dream pop, and more, all anchored on ideas of landscape and lore

Would love it if you tuned in

We hit 150 releases this year. Thanks to everyone who has been part of the label
or supported it.

Magneto Mori: Brussels by Mark Vernon

flamingpines.bandcamp.com/album/magnet...

“In a work of patient soundscaping, you’ll hear metallic drones and static fuzz mimic the comings and goings of gusts; you’ll notice birds and bleating sheep fade in and out the mix as the swish, rattle and patter of rain incrementally increases.” Eoin Murray on A Storm and its Aftermath.

“It’s not just deep listening; it’s listening with a wink, a sly recognition that artifice and reality are forever tangled.”
