**I told my label I was going to make a rock album – as in an album made of rocks: Laura Misch is turning the natural world into music with field recordings, saxophone and experimental electronics** by Danny Turner via MusicRadar
Holy cow — so get this! Laura Misch has been creating her new project *Lithic* where she literally journeyed deep into caves, quarries and coastal environments to sculpt an entire album shaped around stone, water, lightning and wind. She pitched the whole concept straight to her label with "I'm making a rock album – as in an actual album made of rocks" (which honestly just makes me laugh so hard), and she's combining field recordings from these incredible natural settings alongside her saxophone playing and experimental electronics to create this gorgeous fusion that turns geological elements directly into musical form. I've been absolutely obsessed lately with artists who are pushing creative boundaries by literally recording the world around them, but Misch is doing something even more ambitious here—she didn't just record a few sounds for texture; she *sculpted* an entire album from these natural materials and environments. The way that geology becomes music through careful field recordings layered with saxophone lines and processed electronics represents exactly this brilliant intersection between technology, nature and artistry that's been on my mind lately as more musicians experiment beyond traditional studio setups!
