Australian Summer

Recreated Rainforest is an artificial landscape created by the pseudo-random triggering of short discrete sound events, each individually recorded. All sound events can be broken down into either the sound of water falling on either a fig leaf, a fern leaf, bark of a fern, river pebbles, river rocks, or into water itself. Each of these sounds were recorded many times in a studio like environment (the kitchen), by dropping a singular droplet of water onto each object, recording at close proximity. Each of these event are grouped together, and in a sense become their own instrument, the randomness of which can be semi controlled. By adjusting the frequency in which each instrument is triggered, as well as the volume, a rainforest-type space is created.
