about

For the fifth week of Disquiet's Junto project. This called for a field recording, but lacking the equipment to make such a recording in satisfactory quality, I hunted through archive.org and found some CC-licensed pieces by Ollie Hall (link below).

As the recordings were taken in Japan, I decided to try and capture a sense of mono no aware (物の哀れ), a Japanese term which is rather difficult to translate, but connotes a kind of gentle sadness at the passing away of impermanent things. This seemed eminently suited to the nature of a field recording.

I deliberately avoided the use of any kind of beats or percussion in this piece, feeling that they were inappropriate, and chiefly used pads and strings, though I included samples of a few traditional Eastern instruments for flavour. Having greatly enjoyed producing this, I'm considering using some of the other field recordings that caught my ear on archive.org to assemble a small set along a similar theme.
