This week I had the opportunity to field record on Ireland’s north coast in Antrim. The weather was brutally stormy the entire time I was there, most recordings being muddled by the sound of rain. During a break in the weather, I managed to record the sounds of sand, clanging rocks, sea gulls pecking at crabs and mussels. These recordings were perfect. I feel the sounds of the blowing sand, whistling wind, stormy seas layered with squawking and pecking created a strange gloomy atmosphere.
I planned to take these sounds, layer them in a granulator or sampler, pair them with uncanny industrial sound and design them until they fit one of the worlds within The Parallel Cage.
