about

Disquiet Junto Project 0342: In Sea
The Assignment: Record a piece of music in tribute to Terry Riley’s In C using only samples of water sounds.
---

For this piece, I wanted to explore the possibilities of one moment/one sample, and also kept in the mind the idea of phrases being left to chance. I remembered doing a field recording at John Forrest National Park where there was a disused rail tunnel [Swan View Tunnel], and recording water droplets falling from its roof.

Before being decommissioned, the Swan View Tunnel was known for its penchant for near-asphyxiation due to its narrowness and gradient, and indeed one driver did die from that in 1946.

I wanted to create a soundscape that invoked a sense of heaviness. I spliced my original field recording in two - section one [the main section] had the droplets only, while section two [which acts as a bookend] had a plane passing over.

Layer 1: Water droplets
Layer 2: Water droplets - slowed 800%
Layer 3: Water droplets - slowed to 800% and with resonator
Layer 4: Water droplets with Great Buddha phaser
Layer 5: Water droplets with overhead plane
