This collection began with the sound of a squeaking hinge on a gate in a during a hike in Wildcat Canyon, CA.
Gate | The first sound I used in this piece came from a squeaky gate in Wildcat Canyon during a hike. Hiking is almost always filled with auditory delights. Once the din ofcars fade from distant highways, the rich and subtle sounds of the natural world become much more evident.Boiling Point | I walked past the underground parking garage at Berkeley Bowl West for several years, at least five days a week, before recording the hissing sound at the beginning piece. A second layer of is pice includes the sound of boiling water; a sound I’ve always loved.Source | Included in this work are the sounds of an elevator, the sounds of children playing in a building, a ventilation system and many others.
Tea | This piece began with a simple melody that came to mind and there isn’t much more to say.
Wipe | They rhythm of windshield wipers are at the base of this work. You can also hear the sounds of various birds and rain. This work started as I sat in my car on a wet winter day near a waterfront in Oakland. Two and a Half | Made when my son turned two and a half.
