This soundscape was created to accompany Parade in a Graveyard (1965) by visual artist Maxwell Bates. Throughout this track, one will hear the “in-between” of life and death, as the deceased watches and hears their funeral procession unfold. The track was created through the layering of three modular drones, warping and bending in all directions, in an attempt to illustrate the sounds of the beyond – the feeling of shock – the sounds one hears when time seems to be moving in slow motion. Beyond the sounds of the deceased, one can hear different sounds from the graveyard parade, clinking and dragging along in anguish, created through an improvisation using various metals and organics, and a field recording of crickets used to further illustrate the empty feeling emoted by this art piece.
