Favourite, Places compilation

Audiobulb has released its elegantly designed Favourite, Places compilation CD. Each of the ten included compositions is constructed from field recordings, real instruments, and various degrees of digital processing/editing. The sound styles are as varied as the diverse locations represented which range from pastoral environments (forest, lakeside cottage, land bridge, shrine. lighthouse) to urban settings (ancient Indian city, museum) to very domestic, intimate locales (bathroom, studio, apartment).

Features tracks by Taylor Deupree, Dot Tape Dot, Claudia, Biosphere, RF (featuring Midori Hirano), Aaron Ximm, Build, Leafcutter John, Nomad Palace, and John Kannenberg.
