Gravel from a field to water through a town
from Cities and Memory - remixing the world · host Cities and Memory
"The combination of the church bells and textural water currents exhibited the relationship to the river from the community, building close to the river one assumes the ongoing relationship to the river. The water sounds shallow, passing over stones. I chose to bounce and defragment these sounds using 1/4" analog tape, a response to the water passing and breaking past stones. "Breaking and disjointing the elements with ambient melodic vibraphones. The piece wanders and intensifies to a textural dissonance of low tones and glitchy static. It resolves with solely the sounds of the river as it leaves beyond the town. The piece was edited together then processed back as a final mix onto 1/4" tape before digitizing to a final version."Section of the river Lech reimagined by Nick Kuepfer. -------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound. The project is a collaboration between the University of Padova and the University of Würzburg, with support from Cities and Memory. Explore the full project at https://citiesandmemory.com/flow.
