spectris litoribus
These pieces are composed as part of a study I was doing with natural noise sources. In this case, two recordings of water. Both of the root recordings were captured in Cap Breton. The first is a stream in the woods. The second is the ocean on the eve of a storm.
In both pieces I employ a spectral delay filter. Picking out different frequencies and setting different tempos, the natural undulations of the "noise" sources create some haunting effects. I suppose this could almost be considered a spectral composition, in a very literal sense.
The approach on a whole is quite simple, recorded in analog to an 8 track reel to reel, but I still like the results and feel they are worth sharing. It was also the inspiration for a previous release of mine, shores:constant, which is a more synthetic approach to a similar mode.
Thanks for listening.
