Dust-to-Digital celebrates Art of Field Recording
January 28th, 2009 by Wyatt Williams in Listening Stack, Music news
Atlanta-based record label Dust-to-Digital does it right. They don’t release a lot of discs, but what they do put out is so consistently good that it’s always worth buying.
Take The Art of Field Recording Volume I for example — when that box set came out in 2007 it got two GRAMMY nominations and glowing praise from The New York Times, The New Yorker, Pitchfork, and pretty much everyone else who heard it.
So listen up, the second volume of The Art of Field Recording is just starting to hit shelves now and Dust to Digital are throwing a shin-dig in Athens on Saturday to celebrate. Performers will include the blind, nonagenarian Sister Fleeta Mitchell, Ed Teague who “is perhaps the only tradition-schooled two-finger banjo picker still actively playing in north Georgia,” and a good number of other artists recorded over the years by folklorist Art Rosenbaum. More details can be found at Dust to Digital.
