Returning

Nov 05, 08:44 AM

"My piece “returning” was inspired by the field recording “in the turbine hall” by Cities and Memory. As I listened to the field recording, especially the resonance of the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, I immediately thought that it would blend well with some of my own recent experiments with resonance to create a new sonic landscape. 

"The sound sources consist of field recordings of a playground in Syracuse, NY, and a ceiling fan in Harbor Springs, Michigan, that have been edited and processed in the studio (EQ, reverberation, etc.). 

"Also included is a recording of various metal plates struck and dipped in water in my basement studio in Syracuse. An abridged and edited version of “in the turbine hall” is included in the second half of the piece."
