about

Six sound compositions made from field recordings that I collected near my home in Lawrence, Kansas. This is the first volume of my Sound Profiles series - an ongoing project where I document the soundscapes of the places I live and visit with a combination of unadulterated and digitally manipulated field recordings.

The concept of this album was to illustrate a spring day in my adopted hometown, and build a narrative around the sounds that compete for one's attention in this small, but vibrant city in the American Midwest.

- Prelude: Early morning thunderstorm (unadulterated field recording that ends with the fade-in of the next track, "Rope").
- Rope: Dying tornado siren (layered loops of varied pitch).
- All Clear, Wake Up: Ambient backyard noise in afternoon (unadulterated field recording layered behind loops and half-speed recording).
- Iron Horse: Idle locomotive at Lawrence Amtrak station (layered loops of varied speed).
- Hydro: Bowersock Dam on the Kansas River (sound collage of three different locations near the dam).
- Conversations: Backyard at night (unadulterated field recording).
