about

This project highlights environmental degradation in a site that is supposed to be conserved. As I started this project, I intended to capture field recordings from my favorite local natural spaces to incorporate the recordings into compositions celebrating them. However, throughout the summer of 2019, making field recordings drew my attention to their sound in a way I had yet to consider. I immediately discovered how close many spaces were to highways and how much air traffic flew overhead. I was not only disappointed, but this process allowed my existing climate anxiety to flourish as I felt more pain with my planet.
