bands vs djs mix

A musical interpretation of soundscape recordings made in tandem with the Rockefeller Memorial Carillon. Recordings were taken in the surrounding Chicago neighborhoods of Hyde Park and Woodlawn.


"Recordings of different bells from inside Rockefeller Chapel ground the narrative in the audible vicinity of the bells. Contrasted immediately with a recording of the bells, quieter, where they are still the dominant noise, demonstrate these recordings as spread out. Noise is introduced as unrecognizable, violent and uncontrollable, but this turns into recognizable sounds of cars and planes. Wind, specifically when it maxes out the technology, is introduced in the context of higher volumes mechanical noises again suddenly to align both as uncontrollable in the number permutations to create sound. The sound of wind rustling leaves is brought in gently to give a sense of relief, using the quality of how leaves sound to escape the violence of broken technology. Language is brought sharply and disjointedly in various languages both forwards through time and reversed. This not only shows the construction of language but points its control to individuals. The final part pairs these past sounds together in harmony in a number of volumes and includes other sounds of people including walking, repeated similarly to speech. The ending strips back to lower volume examples and the bells tied with the amount of time the track lingers on these clips show the flowing nature of time, tied together within the soundscape of Hyde Park and Woodlawn by the carillon."
