Episode Description
"I chose this soundscape because I wanted to work with sonic elements far removed from what I’m used to hearing. That led me to explore sounds from Japan, and when I came across this recording, it struck me as something special because of its nostalgic quality. Like the person who captured it, I’ve also experienced “last evenings” in the places where I’ve lived. My own feeling isn’t always nostalgia, but rather a kind of emptiness. I wanted to explore that sense of abandonment through this beautiful soundscape of the Yamato River.
"In this piece, I processed the alarm sound in several different ways to create drones that helped me evoke the nostalgia and tenderness present in the original recording. I also wanted to complement the river with my own recordings of bodies of water. In that sense, the work functions, for me, both as an emotional cleanse and as a study of water itself."
