[disquiet0550] The Rocks The Sea And A Printer Gone Astray

As an open water swimmer, I encounter randomness on a daily basis when I compare the tide & currents chart to the actual experience of swimming in the San Francisco Bay.

When I went for a swim on Saturday morning around 9:30AM, the current chart showed that slack was at 9:42 and max flood of 1.9 knots at 12:54. The information on the chart allows me to plan my course (e.g. head out before the flood tide becomes too strong and ride it back on my return) and prepare me psychologically. But the chart never holds the full picture. Us swimmers always collect information from those who just came back from the water and ask, “Is it coming in?” “Is it going out?” “How strong is the flood?” etc.

Then, you get in the water. And no matter what was on the chart and whatever other bay creatures said, your experience is always unique. So, that’s my daily randomness made into this piece.

I used the numbers from the chart and the letter F for flood to sketch out my melody, starting on the pitch F as 1, the starting point. Then, I set 9x 1 beat counts, 4x 2 beat counts, and 2x 3 beat counts moving 2, 5, and 4 half-steps. I set my starting bmp at 80 by dividing 190 (1.9F) by 2. I also recorded the sound of the water and swimmers’ conversations.

The piece starts with information gathering from the chart (melody & counterpoint) and a comment, “it’s moving pretty good,” meaning that the flood current is strong. The drum comes from the rhythm of the words, “it’s moving pretty good.” The swimmer’s words, “funny,” “obviously,” and “certainly” demonstrate his thought process as he takes in the information on the strong flood he’s about to face. There was a fog horn in the background of this recording. So I exaggerated that on the strings.

The final 1/3 of the piece is swimmer heading out, “Have a good swim!” “We’ll keep an eye out for that orange hat.” And the sound material develops into the swimmer’s own experience, remnants of information from the chart and all transformed into something familiar but different as you swim.
