“The deep noise in the first 7 minutes is a sound of a chain rattling but played in the lower octaves and suitably treated – I wanted to suggest that some fantastical large sea creature was moving off shore. I also added what sounds like ships horns in the distance towards the end of the piece.”
As part of our overall Sound Waves project, 38 sound artists from around the world have submitted a field recording and reimagining of water somewhere in the world: ocean, river, lake, stream, swimming pool, boiling kettle, splash of a puddle – anything in which water is the defining sound. These reimagined sounds have been recomposed and re-edited by Cities and Memory into this 30-minute mixed sound piece incorporating many of the sounds in a new context.
