“Probably the most significant field recordist of contemporary urban Britain…” ~ The Quietus

Jennifer Lucy Allan pays a visit to the London studio of field recordist, sound artist and founder of the Flaming Pines label, Kate Carr. As well as taking it in turns to share new music that is exciting them both, Kate demos the current favourites from her array of homemade instruments including a rubber-band noise box set-up and a new contraption that involves twenty speakers arranged inside pipes.
