Feral releases Hinterlandt curated comp

As we enter into the season of giving we here at Feral Media have a special gift for you.

Hinterlandt Presents: Through The Motions is our latest release and is available as free download from the Feral Bandcamp store.

Through The Motions is a curated compilation evolving around the Hinterlandt track Motion, taken from his album Migration Motion Movement released earlier this year.

A couple of months back Hinterlandt (aka German-born musician Jochen Gutsch) asked fellow Australian artists AFXJIM, Broken Chip, Godswounds, Lawrence English, Puzahki, Seaworthy, Simo Soo and Telafonica to create new pieces based on a handful of tiny sound snippets from the original track.
The resulting compilation is breathtaking and the inividual tracks are as diverse as the artists themselves.

So finish the year on a high-note and head here to grab your copy

The site uses a radio feed from the Los Angeles Police Department and fuses it with ambient drones, noise and synth based music from various artists via the soundcloud platform. The result is an ever-evolving film score to what has been described as “the pulse of the city”.  The site has now been expanded to also include feeds from New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Montreal.
