Rewilding from Touch: Isolation by Mark Van Hoen

"I made some recordings around my home in Topanga, notable due to the significantly lessened car traffic and airline activity – which has had the effect of increasing sound from birds, frogs & wildlife… as well as the ability to record these things with greater clarity due to decreased background noise. There has also been a lot of rainfall, so the creeks are flowing too. I also recorded my acoustic piano (free running with no clicks/metronome) and my Farfisa organ.”

“Auditory space has no favoured focus. It’s a sphere without fixed boundaries, space made by the thing itself… It is not a pictorial space, boxed-in, but dynamic, always in flux, creating its own dimensions moment by moment”. Edmund Carpenter

From R. Murray Schafer's book "The Soundscape, Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World" (Destiny Books, 1977)
