"as swiftly the earth rolls east" is a collection of unedited quotidian field recordings captured by ollie turbitt between november and december 2023. the recordings were made on planned sound walks and cycles around trento, utilising a portable zoom recorder, a mobile phone and a walkman. searching for sounds around the city in this manner provided a regular series of meditative pauses during a considerably stressful period.

while many of ollie turbitt's previous musical works have focused on psychogeography and often incorporate self-made field recordings, this is the first example wherein such recordings take centre stage. they are presented with minimal mastering and with no additional enhancements (musical or otherwise); in this way, they allow the city to speak for itself. each recording is a permanently re-playable snapshot of a soundscape that is constantly shifting in reality.

​ollie turbitt is a scottish-italian musician, sound artist, and audio engineer based in trento, italy. as well as providing guitar and bass duties for a handful of bands, he has pursued a fluctuating solo career in avant-garde exploration. under the pseudonyms oxhead, sforza gramsci, oj turbitt, hermetic gaze and others, his self-released cassettes, usbs and digital albums have aimed to express ideas of cultural memory, psychogeography, false consciousness and mysticism/esotericism through improvisation, sound collage, ambient textures, laptop experimentation and field recordings. ollie also runs dead hound records (which serves as a platform for both his own material and an increasing list of international experimental acts) & works in freelance mixing/mastering.
