The Land by Jon Collin

Two extended pieces recorded and re-recorded in a small coastal area in North Uppland in Summer 2023 and Spring 2024. Each piece is based around an outdoor acoustic guitar improvisation, which was then re-recorded with accompaniment in a different time and mind space. On the first side this accompaniment takes the form of a circumambulatory walk around the site of original recording, with the piece itself played back through a handheld cassette recorder alongside the babbling, rushing and humming of the natural world. The second side uses the same recorder for playback and re-recording of this side's original piece in several locations surrounding the site, accompanied each time by a new guitar improvisation.
