Disquiet Junto Project 0398: Rauschen Bern
The Assignment: Make music by making a collage of noises.
---
Prompt provided by Musikfestival Bern as part of a collaboration with the Disquiet Junto.
Another Junto participant [sevenism] listed some of the translations of "rauschen": hiss, sweep, murmur, and sough. Using this list, I thought about a recent experience when I was climbing Carn Mor in Glenshee, Scotland. The land was criss-crossed with small streams and water dripping through peat and accompanied with a strong wind. This wind became increasingly prominent as we approached the summit, and if we listened carefully there were ghostly, shadowy notes. Whispers from the fairies that reportedly called Glenshee home and whose presence gave the place its name?
For this track, I layered multiple versions of wind recordings alongside a recording of a stream and of dripping water through the peat.
