WATER NARRATIVES, a limited-edition vinyl by Melanie Garland, will be released on September 17 as part of the book launch for Making Places Inbetween.
This album serves as a collective listening device, inviting engagement with the sonic landscapes of oceans, rivers, and submerged worlds. Drawing from field recordings and archival sounds across the Mediterranean, North Sea, Pacific, and Malta, the tracks explore migration, colonial histories, ecological transformation, and resonances between human and more-than-human worlds.
Released by Tsonami Records. Mastered and cut by vinylart London. Photography by Inti Gallardo. Design by Melanie Garland and Bastian Manteuffel.COLLECTIVE LISTENING SESSIONS
