A fascinating and immersive acoustic meditation on how places shape us, and how places in turn are reshaped by our changing perceptions of them in the light and shadow of memory and experience. Sometimes natural voices predominate, immersing us in the environments we share with so many other wondrous creatures. At other times industrial sounds take the fore with ominous whooshes and creaking. And somewhere in the middle one floats in a rusting metal boat on an infinite ocean.

The first thirteen years of my life were inscribed, in part, by movement. During these formative years, our family relocated on a nearly annual basis, each shift in space uncovering a new stratum of surroundings, faces, and questions of belonging. Despite the magnitude of these upheavals, it wasn’t until recently that I began to question how they might have impacted my psyche, both during their unfolding and across time. This album began as a series of field trips back to many of the places I once called home, some of which I hadn’t returned to in decades. At each location, I sought to recollect the experiences, thoughts, and emotions of my younger self, while also cultivating new perspectives on these events and the environs in which they occurred. This process of exploration and reflection served not only as a means of approaching a reconciliation of my personal history with my present sense of self, but also as an instinctual system of reference which directed my attention, listening, and interactions with each locale. These two compositions trace their origins from the recordings I made during those field trips, comprising traditional stationary listenings as well as my own manipulation of rediscovered objects and structures within their environments. Some of these recordings are presented as nearly verbatim; others have been more substantially modified in terms of speed, playback direction, and frequency response. While my associations with these recordings and their locations of origin are unavoidably steeped in narrative, I approached the composition of this work in a fundamentally intuitive and formalist sense, as an exercise in processing the recordings’ material properties (and the emergent work as a whole) experientially. Having sat with these pieces for several months as of this writing, they feel to me now very much like kōans — objects of meditation which reject analytical interpretation, yet are suffused with a sense of the fundamental and ineffable.
