Simone Levi, 1996–2011. Sound recording for studio equipment.

Description

Recordings of birdsong, weather and working life made across the Western Ranges by a nurse.

Provenance

Sent to Lazarus by post, with a note asking whether anything could be saved. The dye layer had begun to fail at the outer edge; the last sectors came from a second read in a different drive. Every sector was recovered on the first or second read.
