Roland Etzin works in the genres of field recordings and audio art. He is co-founder of the recordlabel Gruenrekorder and the Society for the Advancement of Phonography and Experimental Music. He also is part of the electronic music formation Autumn Appreciation Society.

For the month of August and September 2009, Roland is Artist in Residence in the Guesthouse in Cork.

During his time at the GuestHouse, Roland will be making field recordings of the Shandon area, focusing on the Shandon Bells. Using a portable HD recorder, contact mics and binaural recording techniques, he has been building up a sonic atmosphere of Shandon, the bells and the clockworks themselves.

Roland will be performing the fruits of his labours at the Guesthouse Sunday Lunch on the 4th of October.
