The Field Reporter noteworthy sounds and works from 2012  Radio program PART I (#14)

On The Field Reporter every year we like to make a sort of guide for our readers with sound, releases, places, ideas that were notable through 2012. With that on mind we contacted a group of artists, journalists and curators to join our team making a series of lists and notes of what they think was noteworthy through 2012. This year we have a new element: mixes made by some of our editors with fragments from those works and experiences.

Parakeets, lots of them in a giant bird enclosure walkabout where guests are free to interact and feed them. Sceptical children afraid of going up close and personal with the birds, parents making sure their kids behave, a couple taking a rest, deciding what to do next..
