Gong's "Magick Brother/Mystic Sister" was supposedly recorded on the sound channel of a movie camera - don't ask me how that works - and it does sound pretty rough tbh.

Garlo - Vent de Guitares

54 guitars placed on the summit of the highest sand dune in Europe. The magical song of hundreds of strings vibrating only under the wind's touch. Immense sound bands crossed by harmonic waves, and by eddys of frequencies... This is Vent de Guitares, a geo-acoustic creation, a work of land art where the ephemeral act and the climatic uncertainty generate a timeless music.

I.S.O. featuring Yoshihide Otomo, Sachiko M & Yoshimitsu Ichiraku was recorded live at Sesshu-tei Garden, Yamaguchi, Japan. It's very light beautiful electroacoustic ambient with the sounds of the garden, birds and such.
