Representing a place through sound is my response to our image-saturated media. - Stuart Hyatt

[Regarding field recordings] I try not to edit or assign value to what I find...What I'm trying to do is get enough material so the artist and musician in me can develop some sort of beautiful response using those sounds.

I think sound is still undervalued as a means to measure environmental health, regional identity, and personal narrative.

The best art provides someone with something that they didn't know they needed, that touches them in a way they may not be able to verbalize.
