This piece combines two elements: interviews and field recordings. I interviewed participants about how they think about change, mortality, and renewal, and organized their responses according to the times of year they mentioned. These voices are layered with environmental recordings made at a compost mound behind Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa during solstices, equinoxes, and four additional points between them.

The result is a chronological loop that follows the year, showing how people’s reflections and the ecosystem’s sounds shift together over time.

Tracks will change over time.
