about

In the summer of 2015 I spent two weeks in a small house by the beach in Marušići, Croatia. With a view to the island of Brač and the quarry where our landlord’s grandfather rowed to gather stone when building the house, it was a perfect place for a holiday of relaxation. Recorders were placed outside, around the house, recording more or less continuosly for two weeks, capturing the sea, bathers, birds and wildlife, farmers, workers, an out-of-tune rooster and daily life though a warm and sleepy period of summer. After several days of windless, almost unbelievably hot weather, the weather changed and strong winds ripped across the coast for almost 12 continuous hours. This overnight recording formed the raw material for this composition. The winds changed the sonic signature of this beach paradise completely, making it into a much more poetic scene than the usual sun-drenched beach with cries of children playing in the water, birds and boats. This short piece is an attempt at capturing this poetic.
