NUZ JET LAG

about

Apocalyptic, though not totally, at the end, once the seas have evaporated, the white noise of insects survive - even if they don't.

A corrugated-iron shack - the head of a precariously steep track half-way up a mountain. A merino sheep, victim of an eagle - eating it's eye out [exploding vitreous humour near the end of this track] while the sheep lay alive, exhausted in intense laser heat.

It's not uncommon to find a one-eyed hallucinating sheep - the intact eye saved by the sheep lying on it's side.

The area from first light until last, hissing with cicadas and the fluctuating calls of a hidden bird. Winds funnelling down the lake below, throwing up clouds of dust. It had a biblical air about it.

I built the Pure Data instruments there and then, corresponding to the overriding sounds - cicadas and undulating 'bellbirds' ...and the dusty waves. No field-recordings, just my ear and numbers - a laptop in the middle of an uninhabited twisted parameter reality, no humans, only four items of wildlife and some weird trees that looked like brains.

Recorded in quad, mastered in stereo.
