Summary

A modern fairytale about sound hunting. "Fishing frequencies" tells the story of Audrius Simkunas, a field recording artist and a musician, who lives in a small town of Lithuania, Utena, where he extensively records his surroundings for over 20 years. He collects all kinds of sounds - from bats, swamp noises, underwater creatures to industrial sounds - empty abandoned buildings, city noises, electric circuit sounds, etc. He describes his activity rather as "a listening experience" than "recording" or capturing one.
Dressed as a modern wizard, he goes with his devices into the wild and dives into pagan mythology - looking for those primal sounds there. It's almost like a mythological ritual where he goes into the wild for days to record "the invisible world" of sounds.
