“Hagg Lake holds a stillness that speaks in subtle ways, the rustle of leaves, the ripple of water,
the hush between bird calls. I wanted to wrap those sounds around my guitar like a thread
through fabric, weaving a sonic offering to the land and the people who honor it.” — Katherine
Paul

This soundscape is an exploration of Henry Hagg Lake in Oregon, composed as a continuous
piece that unfolds in sections. The music draws inspiration from the lake’s environment,
capturing its rhythms and textures. The piece is meant to be played anywhere around the
lake—whether by the creek, along the trail, or near the water’s edge. It can be experienced in its
entirety or listened to in parts, with each section offering a distinct atmosphere to guide the
listener through different aspects of the landscape.
