Field releases
Each release connects a Canadian landscape, a documented method, and a form that can be experienced beyond the field.
Field Release 001 · Available
A dehydrated sourdough starter developed using wild yeasts collected in the boreal forest near Ishpatina Ridge, Ontario’s highest point.
Sterile flour-and-water cultures were placed among the trees. Yeasts recovered from those field cultures were cultivated, evaluated, and later identified by Escarpment Laboratories in Guelph, Ontario.

Release standard
A Lodestar release is not simply themed around a location. It must have a direct and documented relationship to the landscape.
That relationship may come through a biological culture, environmental recording, photographic work, an observed route, or another method suited to the place.
Evidence before mythology. Each release should state what was collected or recorded, how it was transformed, and where interpretation begins.
In progress
Some fieldwork becomes a release. Some becomes a story, an experiment, or a useful failure. These are the active directions.
A place-based project connected to New Brunswick’s highest peak.
Testing what can be learned from urban parks and nearby wild spaces.
Long, immersive environmental recordings from Canadian landscapes.
New locations and media will be added only when the fieldwork supports them.
