There's this sound in here--I know I've heard it before, long ago, it's just hard to recall--oh, I know!  It's WATER FLOWING!  We used to have that around here.

really cool interplay. the transient urban din vs. the permanence of the garden's (non-turtle) residents. each with its own set of constants.

Awesome how you stop paying attention and then all these timestretches start playing with your brain... subtly intense stuff!

terrific! i feel entranced and somewhat drenched.

This track is an entry to  the disquiet junto project group on Soundcloud. Project 29 invites  tracks exploring the sound of running water inspired from a quote from the novel Count Zero describing the sound of water on stone as the ‘oldest song’.

Main source recording was of an ornamental waterfall in the remembrance garden in City of London Cemetery, Aldersbrook. The pond  is home to a large number of turtles ( dumped unwanted pets I presume – certainly nothing native to UK) recorded on Saturday 21 July 2012. Some loops and slightly time-slipped parts of the recording are played alongside the main recording. Other samples with similar sonic properties are also buried in the mix – a synthy crackle, radio static, some pulsey traffic noises, an unidentified techno track. I mixed this at high volume on headphones -  not sure how it will end up sounding on soundcloud but that’s part of the experiement.

Interested in collaborative projects -  The more inappropriate the better.  London based. home built noise toys and circuits, broken tape recorders, hex bugs in biscuit tins. Field recordings of air conditioning outlets.broken cassettes. and maybe the odd bit of class gear.

maxims:

If you dont like the sound of out of tune guitars  then you dont like the sound of  guitars.

Try again, fail better
