about

The weather was unsettled and the river was high from storms and flooding on this field trip. I was standing below the bridge to shelter from a rainstorm, and when it stopped, the light turned a strange peachy-orange colour. I looked out, and rainbow rapidly was revealed in the sky. When I turned around and saw it, it literally took my breath away, and made an involuntary vocal exclaimation. This resonated in the acoustics of the space, so I used that intake of breath / gasp sound as the basis for some vocal explorations in the space where I was - the small niche under the bridge.

This audio was recorded in the winter of 2015, but has only just been made into this sound-sketch. I constructued it by splicing together only the intakes of breath from my recording, and then using only one single exhalation at the end. It is in 2 layers (panned left and right, headphones recommended), one of which is actually treated with a subtle delaying and pitch lowering effect, which creates a slightly sinister gruff 'response' sound. This is the first time I have done this on a Site Singing sound-work, and it respresents the first small experiment in that direction.
