Just part of what needs to be dealt with as far as the "context" tag goes, whether or not it is included here. Gene Nygaard 14:57, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, you did the wrong search: birdsong and "field recording" gets 63,000 hits. I've tried to rebalance the article a bit accordingly.--Pharos 22:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What about "Tapers"?
It seems to me that an article on Field recording (at least as it pertains to music), should speak to the growing popularity of recording live music, which really seemed to take off with fans of the Grateful Dead, Phish, etc...After taking a look at Archive.org, it's pretty clear that the practice of making high quality field recordings with very expensive equipment for the sole purpose of documenting/enjoying live music has really caught on. In fact, I think it's fair to say there's a good number of people who consider themselves "tapers", and keep a day job in order to afford doing what they love the most (much like musicians themselves). Maybe the sub-culture of "tapers" could even be a part of that proposed section? I'd do it myself, but I honestly don't know enough about it. D3gourds (talk) 05:11, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
