The first song from George Hurd's "Echolocation," a subscription-based project focused on creating music made with location-specific audio recordings. This opening track is about Oslo, Norway, and uses sounds recorded entirely within Oslo to conjure the essence of the city both emotionally and physically. Rather than just being inspired by the city's spirit, it is built from raw audio material collected from Oslo's sonic landscape. The end result is a musical representation of it that is both artistic and literal, bringing the place itself into the music.

Every 4-6 weeks will be a new piece based on a new location from my travels in Europe. Next we'll be hitting Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Belgium, the Netherlands and more to create a kaleidoscope of music based on places in each country.

Conversations for Flute Duo

Unwinding II for string quartet (2017)

禅は日本の心です。 
私は週末の朝早くお寺に出かけます。 
そこで、約三時間の座禅を組みます。 
心は次第に、波立っていない水面のように穏やかになっていきます。 
あらゆる環境音、無音は自分の中で意味を持ち始めます。

やがて音は光始めるのです。

Zen 禅　is a Japanese Spirit. 
I go to a temple in the early morning of the weekend. 
Then, I practice the meditation in Zen Buddhism for about 3 hours. 
The heart becomes quiet, gradually like the water surface which is not choppy, but still. 
All environmental sound and non-sound, begin to have a meaning to me . 
Soon the sound begins to shine.
