IS THIS JUST ONE DAY?
IMMERSIVE AUDIO TRAIL EXPERIENCE
Comissioned by Aerial Festival, 2021, Is This Just One Day? is an evolving, ambient and multi-layered soundscape experience inspired by the Lake District. The piece picks out locations around the Lake District, which have particular value to the creators. From these areas, field recordings from the landscape were taken and put to music to form a collection of sonic verses and words totalling 30 minutes. This piece is a meditation on the passing of time in the Lake District, of the repetitions of our experience and of our overall lack of agency with how our environment can change. Watch the essay - an accompanying projected essay that connects to the soundscapes. and then plug in your headphones to listen to the full piece.
