process: the source audio was first recorded to tape while subtracting frequency bands with equalization. tape was then prepared by kara andree by removing the magnetic oxide with sandpaper. the prepared tape was then played back while manually removing the tape from the playback head during operation.

pressing forward, left to drown (disquiet0013-wildup)

condition: (as determined by the twenty-ninth <a href="http://soundcloud.com/groups/disquiet-junto/">junto project</a>) make a field recording of source material that involves running water to act as a foundation for a sound work providing both rhythmic and melodic material. add elements and treatments to the foundation recording, with the intention of highlighting the water's internal sense of rhythm and melody, while keeping the original recording recognizable. duration should be between 2 and 4 minutes.

process: melodic content was produced from a field recording of a river as the only source material using a resonant filter and reel to reel tape loops. the recording documents the gradual removal of elements allowing different elements to surface.
