Lindsay Vickery - small waves raised by the evening [2016] for bass clarinet, electric guitar, harp and processed filed recording.

"THIS IS A delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense, and imbibes delight through every pore. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself. As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt-sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me. The bullfrogs trump to usher in the night, and the note of the whip-poor-will is borne on the rippling wind from over the water. Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath; yet, like the lake, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled. These small waves raised by the evening wind are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface"
Henry David Thoreau
small waves uses the contours of a field recording to define its formal structure. Different regions of the recording are highlighted via a range of digital processes and transcribed for bass clarinet, electric guitar and harp using techniques I have been developing over the last few years . The title is a quote from Henry David Thoreau's Walden - part of an extended reflection on the sounds of nature - birds, frogs, leaves and the night wind - from the chapter Solitude. The original field recording was made by Philip Kenworthy. www.lindsayvickery.com
