H(a)unted Listening is an audio essay about a
field recordist and a hunter.
Starting from an eerie encounter in the forest,
the essay explores the parallels between hunting
and field recording practices, from the multi-sensory engagement present in both practices to
the inherent asymmetrical power relationships.
Furthermore, the essay reflects on how ‘hunting’
and ‘field recording’ are intertwined with issues
related to concepts and constructs of ‘nature’,
cultural contexts, and ethical concerns, and how
forests and ‘fields’ are gendered and hierarchical
spaces within European contexts.
