Between Noon on 31 August and noon on 1 September, The Dark Outside will broadcast 24 hours of unheard music to a forest in Dumfries and Galloway, one piece of which will be a new recording for cello and electronics by me. This is so unheard that even I haven't heard it! I submitted a recording to last year's event, and this year wanted to take the "unheard music" idea beyond simply unreleased recordings to something genuinely unheard by anyone. I created my track by superimposing a number of elements at random. I've listened to sections to check the balance, but not listened to it all the way through so as to maintain its unheardness. The trees will be the first to hear it. I'll make the track public on my SoundCloud page after the broadcast. |
