Weird Garden

A composite of 7 different recordings from 7 different spaces in the former Quelle building in Nuremberg Germany. A simple action by 4 participants was made in each space. The sound is from 4 metal trash bins found in the building. The bin was dragged slowly across the floor from one corner to the next. This was part of a Tuned City workshop called "sounds of muggenhof" held April 11-17th. http://www.tunedcity.net

Untitled (25/08/23)

A new beginnings

This work is intended as a meditative companion-piece to an earlier work, https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/20211024-night-music-spring, and follows a similar structure. However, it was recorded in an entirely different location (thirty-six kilometres away).

In this piece, the auditory journey of approach towards the distant source has more intervals, and is more gradual, than in the earlier work. Listening to what may be heard along the way is as important as arrival. On this occasion, there is only one Eastern Banjo Frog in the midst of a plenitude of Spotted Marsh Frogs, along with some Brown Tree Frogs and Common Eastern Froglets.

Other than balancing gain levels, the sequence of recordings constituting this work (made during one night at one location) has not been filtered or processed in any way (with the exception only of the final two minutes).

Fixing the volume from the outset to a fairly low level, e.g., around 40 per cent, and certainly not more than 50 per cent, is recommended. What is distant and quiet will gradually become nearer and louder.

Recorded on the land of the Peramangk people.
