about

Under Dark Blue Skies is an immersive and contemplative work inspired by periods of deep listening during certain times of the day. From the forewarnings of heavy rains to the still nights under clear skies, shades of dark blue often make me stop and listen to sonic events around me.

For this composition I used a variety of sounds gleaned during winter on Shetland, from the most present to the minutest. Different atmospheric conditions, and the randomness of a plurality of sound events that reach my ears every time I am listening and recording, have inspired me to shape this composition. From lochs with creaking icy surfaces to windy nights, whooper swans and clacking pebbles, I sought to create a tapestry of sounds within which I interweaved sparsely employed delicate percussion instruments, vibraphone and electronics.

I invite listeners to make themselves comfortable and, for twenty minutes, immerse themselves in this short journey under dark blue skies. Due to the nature of this work, the use of headphones/speakers/earphones is highly recommended.
