Memory, glowing

"There are memories in everything. "In nature, in our voices, in all of the world. "This field recording may sound like the memories of others, but at the same time it sounds like a shimmer of my own memories. "In a shared landscape, individual memories accumulate to form a faintly sacred scene. People can access memories which can’t be touched but are nonetheless real, sometimes close sometimes distant. "If we try to touch it, it may disappear, but like a wave, it ebbs and flows, approaches and recedes. These memories fall under my loving gaze. "By varying the levels of the ambient sounds (such as the waves) throughout the piece, I sought to represent our continuously changing proximity to our memories. I recorded improvisations on the piano and keyboard, imitated the sound of the wind using my voice, and overlaid spoken word recitations. "Depending on our state of mind, our impressions of even a single memory can wildly differ, so I processed the same material in different ways to reflect this, sometimes making it brighter, and sometimes heavier."
