Featured Best Field Recording column via Bandcamp for January daily.bandcamp.com/best-field-recordings/the-best-field-recordings-on-bandcamp-january-2025

“So...what are we doing?” ask [something's happening] in Turn, and it is a difficult question to answer.

Somewhere near the centre of France an event was cancelled. Over the course of five days conversations were translated from French to English, mangled, remoulded and repeated aloud. Field recordings were taken and rebroadcast. From these overlapping text and sound processes this strange and unpredictable album emerged.

Buzz is generated from open- ended protocols where processes are devised, abandoned and adapted. Not only can it not be situated geographically, but conceptually it thrives in the blurry location where everyday life meets art practice.

For [something's happening], the duo of Iris Colomb and Daryl Worthington, the world is not amorphous as such, but shape-shifting, unpredictable and layered in disorienting and even absurd ways. In meeting this version of the world in their collaborative practice Colomb and Worthington embrace a jumble of contradictory, baffling and playful performance protocols where abandoning the rules is just as important as inventing them.

In Buzz meaning and context are not solid ground or anchor points, but roiling entities to be transfigured, re-staged and mutated. Consequently Colomb and Worthington have developed a highly portable practice, one of Bluetooth speakers and mobile phones, where one context is recorded, only to be broadcast again in another. Space and time are here an amalgam always contaminated not only by what came before and what what might come after but also by memory, fantasy and the drift of association.

As Colomb notes “the unpredictability and wonder of the everyday” serves as both raw material and point of departure for [something's happening]. In the 12 playful and ambiguous works which comprise Buzz the intentional meets the spontaneous over and over until the boundaries between the two stretch and blur.

In this ambiguous space of the accidentally-on-purpose [something's happening] revel.
