Electronic (Abstract, Experimental, Field Recording, Sound Art)

Edition of 500. Gatefold double CD wallet in matte varnish. All audio recorded in 15 of American artist James Turrell's Skyspaces, in 9 countries. All recording done in-situ in the Skyspaces. No studio overdubs or recordings made outside Skyspaces. Recorded using only 2 custom-made oscillators via portable speaker with 2 x Rode NT2 microphones direct to hard-disk. Some recordings on Disc B made with oscillators via Genelec 7050 subwoofer, these tones may be inaudible without a subwoofer. A2 re-recorded in NGA Skyspace. A3 re-recorded in Järna Skyspace. B2 re-recorded in Ekebergparken Skyspace. Mixed and mastered in Cork (Ireland) and at Falmouth University, Cornwall (UK) via RME D/A, SSL 24 track console + Elysian Parametric EQs. No further effects or processing used. The two discs that make up 'Climata' were created to be played back to back or simultaneously, in any order and ideally on two sound systems. Together the two 58 minute CDs give rise to hours of unique combinations. Cover image: 'Fleshing out my cave', 2014. Ink on paper. 130 x 150 cm.
