about

Each of these tracks was created on the basis of different field recordings of water.

“Narcissus” uses a recording of flowing water that I made at Sweetwater Creek State Park, outside of Atlanta, Georgia. “‘Narcissus!’” uses a recording of snow melting and dripping into a Toronto sewer. The two titles—“Narcissus” and “‘Narcissus!’”—are a reference to the mythical figure of Echo, in Ovid. “SW3” is an amalgam of three different recordings of Georgia’s Sweetwater Creek that each increase in intensity; the recordings were then combined with tones played on the viola, each placed to emphasize corresponding overtone peaks in the sound of the water, which were analyzed on a spectrograph.
