The 3rd piece for George Hurd's "Echolocation" project, this iteration was created specifically for Codame, an art + tech organization based in San Francisco. Created an interactive piece for their 3D Web Fest with visual artist/coder/tech wiz Juan Miguel de Joya. The full piece was premiered and performed on June 30, 2017 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco (watch performance at https://youtu.be/u-Qxs5FePBs), and included projections that visualized the music within digitally illustrated imagery of San Francisco that reacted to Hurd's playing. 

The piece itself consists of iconic field recordings collected around the city, including but not limited to: numerous foghorns, the BART train, the F Line bells, the Cable Car Museum, the seals at Pier 39, Chinatown street noise, the Wave Organ, the sounds of the harbor at Marina Green, MUNI bus sounds, waves in the Bay, and so much wind, wind, wind.
