All sounds recorded January 2019 along the south shore of Lake Superior, on travel funded by grants from Oberlin Conservatory and Oberlin Environmental Studies. Image taken on South Bay in Munising, MI.

The work is constructed around morphological affinities between the sounds we encountered, and its form explores the simultaneous diversity and unity of the little places we came across in this vast soundscape. Over small changes in time or location, the dynamics of ice and water are completely different – but behind this almost pure diversity lies shared tides and wave patterns.

Sounds jointly recorded by Sophie Shalit and Will Bertrand; the work was formed by the composers taking turns at drafts amidst ongoing conversation; and the mastered mix down from quadrophonic to stereo was completed by Will Bertrand.
