This was such a turning point in my music listening and was likely the CD that kicked off my emo phase ~2002. I vividly remember cranking my Discman up to 10 for the first time on the school bus to this.

I think I had more feelings in 2004 than in all the years before that combined.

It was 2010. My friends and I used to swap USBs full of .mp3 files (usually ripped from CDs we had borrowed at the library) and we were all curating these bloated itunes libraries on our parents desktop computers.
I never listened to the radio so this album managed to pass me by. The first time I heard it, it was technically autumn but in every experiential sense it was winter and I was on the bus to school. I had time to listen to it twice. To this day, itβs one of my all time favourites and all my friends make fun of me for it. (I may be embarrassing but I commit 100%!)

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones βΊοΈ
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
