Chapter III — Listening Room

A gallery for the audible ground.

Each recording is presented as it was captured - an 8-channel ensemble - bringing together raw slices of moments, out of chronological order, accompanied only by a note from the field. Use your headphones, turn up the volume and give each entry the time it asks for.

The SoilScapes listening station, Bass Lake, Ontario — eight monoliths rising from the beds beneath prayer flags and trees.

    Submerged Dew Point in Measures

    0:00 / 13:13Entry 001

    Drone of distant traffic, static buzz, the sense of tiny thumps and the rise and fall of static. Fog moves in and hugs the water birds in slow motion.

    Underground Radio Station

    00:00 / 15:57Entry 002

    Who's there? Unrecognizable sounds from the depths of the underground. Call and response, through timeless realms..

    Rumble

    00:00 / 1:59:57Entry 003

    Surface songs filtered through sediment, audible through the contact mics; the soil beneath answers with space and crackle, all while peonies and sunflowers are watching from a distance.

    Growing Unnoticed

    00:00 / 2:59:49Entry 004

    Rhythmic friction unfolds, the earth never arrives; It’s always becoming.

    Percussive Petrichor

    00:00 / 43:51Entry 005

    Sensing syncopation, the rhythm fumbles. Galloping forces move in. The floods of change have arrived.

    Windward

    00:00 / 33:22Entry 006

    Many small bodies in slow motion, moved by the wind in a beautiful insect-a-chorus. The archive comes alive once again, in the spirit of dance, learning the night time language of fireflies.

    Soaked

    00:00 / 1:32:17Entry 007

    Drenched in the wet of surrounding energy, our wings held heavy, we came down to earth for a happy-hour sip from the temporary puddles.

    Competing Frequencies

    00:00 / 1:47:52Entry 008
