about
"The Path Described” creates moments of reminiscing, which are sometimes very cautious and then again astonishingly impressive." - fieldrecording.de
"The Path Described is a sonic souvenir of a specific Australian peninsula, an evocative recreation of aural memory, and a universal invitation. The world beckons. An open window is not enough." - a closer listen
"There is an otherworldly quality to the field recordings of Tristan Louth-Robins, which is, of course, entirely the wrong word. They are intrinsically of this world. Within them we may distinguish a familiar birdsong or aural backdrop, the usual but usually unregarded mutterings of the world as it is — a messy, frontier place full of strange cohabitants, marked by vibrant incongruences. And, yet, something not quite of this world pertains. Nostalgia — a remembrance of things past — is an important emotion for Louth-Robins, and it may be this that infuses these recordings with an essence that takes the listener beyond the quotidian. There is no mistaking Louth-Robins’ affinity with the places he documents, shaped by ineradicable personal connections with the landscapes of South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula. If these recordings take us back to the natural world, to the coastlines and cliffs and epic ranges and waterways for which the region is noted, then they also transport us back in time. They open a window not only onto a realm rich with human activity thousands of years before the name of a Frenchman was assigned to it, but also onto the story of an individual and how he first heard the world around him." - Ben Brooker

Perfectly captures the feeling of a special place in nature as a gateway to the numinous. I especially enjoy hearing the voices of the animal visitors, like the whippoorwill, who in this context seem very much like messengers from another world (as Indigenous peoples have long viewed them).

History of Violence
by philip sulidaesupported by 4 fans who also own “The Path Described”
Here, the artist has entirely managed to give us the atmosphere in which he wanted to plunge us. Everywhere on earth, in any place where joy and life abound necessarily hides in the past a history of violence, abuse, fear, pain, betrayal and fallen hope. So, if like me you sometimes linger to imagine the dark secrets of where you are, the aura of dark calm of the work will delight you!

Another wonderful album of the unique Philip Sulidae! With this particular touch to train us, using natural sounds, in a cold and strange universe that slides gently towards a silence, which it breaks with textures a little rasping, strident or chaotic. A great album to listen absolutely, maybe the best! I have a huge favorite for the fourth track, "Valley Floor, Nights and Frogs" which is delicious.
