A rich textured hum growls slowly

This sonic exploration series is the product of many durational and deep-listening sessions, unfolding gradually over time and in constant flux, texturally and spatially—made to take your time with and see how your experience shifts across multiple listens. For me, each time I listen to something I try to lose myself in the soundscape and to see what happens in my mind’s eye, based on what my ears are telling me.

The first twenty or fifty-some odd times I listened, I lost count, I was starting to hear subtle new patterns in the background here and there. If I turn it up loud enough I discover that I can’t hear the dogs barking or the neighbor’s mellifluous shouts. I am in the sound, for the present moment, at this time. The sound carries me away, a free-form evolving soundscape, deep and emotive to help find connections and space. Naturally I play it as loud as I can, whenever I can.

Consistently steady as she goes ::

After a while it becomes much easier for me to just get stuff done while the odd artificial atmospheric sounds play, driving dreams, bringing another world, or series of mysterious non-ordinary places into my personal listening theater. There is only one track, one take, with analogue instruments, recorded to tape. “01 resolve – relate 01” (21:15), begins where a rich textured hum growls slowly, it throbs a bit, thrumming deep in there sometimes, consistently steady as she goes. I hear tiny actions, under the blanket of mostly just the rich hum layers. The hum might be covering something up. I wonder, are there voices? The hum is fragile and relentless, as if it was but one long tone that goes on and on and on and on. The constant listening development over time is the heart of this music.
