Subbubbling

"This is how I imagine the sounds heard in almost-sleep, in which the real world can still be sensed along with the hazy recombinations of sounds stored deep in the brain. I used a few swelling rain excerpts from the Bijilo recording (including one with the meow) in a custom granular synthesis program (https://github.com/jimkang/graphback/). I also added some synth trombone and a field recording of a back yard and of my own cat and filtered them to blend in."
