Label: Volume Projects

VOLUME commissioned this limited-edition work by Steve Roden in December 2007 in honor of its first year of operations.

"Vester Fields was composed using a found postcard to determine the following sounds/instruments used to generate the piece: violin (an old handmade tramp art instrument), accordion (a very small children's toy accordion from china), voice (my own), plant (a shiso branch), field recordings (from marfa texas and a glacier in norway), and a 1940's home recording (in the form of a 7 inch 78rpm cardboard record)."

-Steve Roden, December 2007

Made available as a free download after the limited edition CD had been sold out.
