Throughout the 1970s, Irv Teibel recored countless ambient field recordings as part of his Environments series. Now, the folks at Numero Group have brought the sounds to smartphones everywhere with a new “boutique” lifestyle app. With 22 fully-remastered analog recordings from Teibel, the app includes the sound of ocean waves, birdsongs, sailboats, thunderstorms, and more. Co-created with Teibel’s label Syntonic Research Inc., the app seeks to recreate the original listening experience as closely as possible with the new technology. Watch a trailer for the iOS app below.
