O TYM ODCINKU
"My great-grandfather was a glassblower. He was gone long before my time, but I grew up feeling his presence in my grandmother's house.

I built the piece from fragments of the recording, layered with synthesizers. I hope you find something cosmic in here.

Fields and forests were created,
Checkered stones of many colors,
Gleaming in the silver sunlight"
— Kalevala, Rune I, translated by John Martin Crawford (1888)

Birds fill the space, with only a distant sense of the urban world behind them. It shows another side of the capital: quieter, greener, more open. The recording feels lik…
"A mix of the casual tumbling dice in their cup and the majestically remote mountains that cover the land outside of Bishkek."

This piece was inspired by a recording of a klaxon in Patton, PA that seemed to warn of nothing on a spring morning but the arrival of migrant birds.
