VINYL RELEASED—WATER NARRATIVES 

Water Narratives, a limited-edition vinyl by Melanie Garland, will be released on September 17th, 2026, as part of the book launch for Making Places Inbetween.

Released by Tsonami Records. Mastered and cut by Vinylart London. Photography by Inti Gallardo. Design by Garland & Manteuffel.

Water Narratives is a collective listening device, inviting listeners to engage with the sonic landscapes of oceans, rivers, and submerged worlds. Drawing from field recordings and archival sounds collected across the Mediterranean, the North Sea, and the South Pacific, each track explores the entanglements of migration, colonial histories, ecological transformation, and the resonances that connect human and more-than-human worlds.

The content of the vinyl can currently be experienced through public collective listening sessions. In the future, it will be released in a larger edition for sale and distribution. If you’d like to stay updated on upcoming sessions, follow Melanie Garland on Instagram for the latest announcements and invitations.
