ABOUT THIS EPISODE
"The originating field recording is - frankly speaking - quite monotonous along its ten minutes... Thus my intention was/is to open up that monotony by overlaying various instruments.
"Defining C major as fitting main root note, I stacked several VST midi instruments, mostly using the pentatonic scale, over the field recoding.

"With the exception of some vocalizations by my daughter and myself, all sounds and patterns were derived from the source material - tuned, chopped, inverted.
"As the piece came together, I considered taking the listener from a churning sea from above, to the slow muted silence from below."
