This piece was composed in response to a call from Phonography for works of under seven minutes duration in which recorded sounds were to be used with no layering, processing, crossfades, or editing permitted. Since these are all techniques that I use extensively, I thought I would take on this difficult challenge. The sounds consist of my floor furnace turning on while the mics were placed within the furnace housing, the sound of a Jacob’s ladder which I built, tape unrolling, water boiling in a stainless steel pan, a gas service regulator with frogs contributing from a distant pond, and a faulty washer in a sink’s valve. |
