Helsinki/Ottawa, road/mall/street/sewer
Posted September 13th, 2007 by james4:43 minutes (5.4 MB)
A shift-sequence between Helsinki and Ottawa, moving from the breakbeat-Stockman clip, through the two Lincoln Fields mall clips, to the road/sewer clip. The opening clapping links texturally to the closing water sound; the rhythm of the footsteps closing the Helsinki clip links to the rhythm of the beeping starting the Ottawa clip; plus links between very differenct musics and voices in very different languages...

May 10 07 late afternoon, Ottawa river, outdoors, zero peopliness, rapids, car, birds, fairly dense, starts with steady rush of rapids, ends in woods with birds etc. Less a space-transition, more a density/texture-transition maybe...?

May 10th, late afternoon. Ottawa West Filtration Plant. Outdoors. Zero peopliness. From woods (birds etc) to the medium-to-loud hum outside a water treatment facility. (Technically the same 'space', but different sound worlds...)

Woods, plane passes overhead
Posted May 31st, 2007 by james1:55 minutes (1.76 MB)
May 10th, late afternoon. Mud Lake conservation area, Ottawa. Outdoors. Zero peopliness. In the woods (birds etc); a plane passes overhead, close enough to be quite loud. Does this constitute a transition? I have not moved; my space has not changed. But the shift from natural sound to the sound of the plane is a dramatic shift in cultural space... (Plus the plane has a nice symbolic link with our themes of transitions, different local and geographical spaces, etc...)

Lake to woods
Posted May 31st, 2007 by james1:23 minutes (1.59 MB)
May 10 late afternoon. Mud Lake, Ottawa. Outdoors. Zero peopliness. Medium density. No traffic (well, some quite distant traffic.)
This is an attempt at a transition between two entirely outdoor 'spaces' - an open lake versus within the woods. The spatial shift is a bit subtle, though slightly supported by a shift in the sound sources (less/more birds/frogs/crickets...)
