we006.jpgLaunched in 2006, Wandering Ear is a net.label dedicated to releasing field recording-oriented audio from around the world. The concept is deliberately open-ended to accommodate the unexpected. Wandering Ear is co-curated by Nathan Larson and Mike Hallenbeck.

All Wandering Ear releases are available for free download in 192kpbs MP3 format individually or packaged using WinZip. All content is subject to the copyright of the respective artists. Full permission was explicitly granted for inclusion on the Wandering Ear website. Wandering Ear releases are free to download under a Creative Commons License for personal use. Commercial usage is prohibited unless individually negotiated with the respective artists and Wandering Ear.

Listen to: we005 Melt: Minnesota Remixed.

In 2006, the net label Wandering Ear debuted with the compilation “Thaw: Field Recordings from Minnesota”. Now, a host of audio artists from around the world have mined these recordings as source material for remixes, bending and folding the sounds to their own ends. Ducks, geese, lakes, waterfalls, boats, helicopters, and answering machine messages are spun into new and unexpected dimensions. Every track from “Thaw” has been reworked for this compilation. Well worth the listen!
