Field Recordings Archive

Sounds from the edge of the map, kept open since 2014.

An open broadcast network

Listen live

Alongside the archive stream we keep an open network of curated internet-radio stations — ambient, drone, nature, classical, jazz and lossless hi-fi — chosen to match what we listen to in the studio. Pick a station below and press play.

Every stream in the network is served over secure HTTPS, taken directly from the broadcasters’ own public endpoints (SomaFM, Radio Paradise, Radio France, Mother Earth and others) — so they play in any browser, with no plugins and no mixed-content blocking. Star stations to save them, set a sleep timer, search by name; on phones the lock-screen play/pause controls work. Lossless (FLAC) streams sound best on desktop Chrome, Firefox and Edge.


Archive stream · programme

Running in parallel with the open network is our own archive stream — a continuous selection from the catalogue, reassembled fortnightly by a rotating panel of editors. The schedule is provisional and shifts as fresh material arrives from the field. Times shown in UTC.
