Island

Barry Truax

Island has been performed in Belfast, Karlsruhe, Melbourne and Vancouver…

Island is a 16-track soundscape composition that blends natural acoustic environmental sounds with processed versions of the same sounds. The result is a visit to an imaginary island embued with magical realism, beginning at the shoreline, proceeding up a rapidly flowing stream, visiting a resonant cistern, climbing to the windy peak of a mountain lake, descending again through a nightime forest of crickets, and ending at a different shoreline. Original sound recordings are by the World Soundscape Project, Robert MacNevin, David Monacchi and the composer.
