Knud Viktor (1924-2013) was a Danish painter who moved to the Luberon in Provence in the early sixties and spent the rest of his life listening to it: insects, birds, wind, stones, the microscopic sounds of a valley captured with the most sensitive microphones available. Images and Ambiances, originally released in 1972 by Jean C. Roché's label L'Oiseau Musicien, are two of his most important works.
This 2017 reissue gathers both, remastered from the original tapes, on two LPs in a gatefold sleeve with the original covers, published by BIN and the Danish Institut for Dansk Lydarkæologi, with an essay by Morten Søndergaard. A founding document of field recording as an art form.
