about

These long-form compositions were built around two recordings of pipistrelle bats captured by the HomeSounds project.

The raw recordings were processed in a series of patches designed to modulate the sound in a number of ways, focusing on small changes in dynamic and tonal variety. Additional synthesised instruments were added on Fledermaus and Sunset.

These tracks were created for a live-stream sound-walk, produced by HomeSounds, for the 2020 North Norfolk Dark Skies Festival. They were accurately mixed with live environmental sound, captured and broadcast by a live-streaming microphone installed by HomeSounds at Sheringham Park, for an extended period of time.

To reflect the intention of the listening context the music has been mixed with field recordings made by Oliver. Fledermaus with Sunset features a recording documenting the edge of a woodland at sunset in Dulwich. Natbakka and Rooks features recordings of an early winter roosting of rooks at Buckenham marshes.

The original live-stream sound-walk can be taken again here: bit.ly/DSF20SP
