The project

Recorded on the trail

Chilled Samples is Cody Christianson and Kelly Klein, the duo behind Dreamfield. It began as sample packs built from Cody's field recordings on Colorado summits, streams and lakes, and starting January 1, 2027, it becomes an artist of its own.

Every release starts with Cody's adventures: the sounds he records on long runs, summit days and ultras in the mountains. Cody and Kelly shape them into songs, often with friends from across the lofi world, and each song gets a Field Note on this site with the route, the photos and the sounds behind it.
