New set of Field Recordings:
I am happy to share another collaboration with Hiroko which features Austrian poet Carla Rihl. A great pleasure to listen to this poem in German and to imagine this landscape.
From Hiroko:
It was mid summer in the mountain and forest by the lake and river.I
started to record voice.The voice had a presence like a flowing
landscape. It was time to listen and take a deep breath with the forest
air. Thanks to Carla Rihl for participating with her voice and poem.
This track is a combination of voice recording and Chris’s piano
performance. This series of voices will continue.

Vignettes of summer light near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
Here is the fourth published track with Hiroko: Ima no oto 今の音. This one was recorded on an early summer morning/late afternoon. From Hiroko:
Early summer day, it was our 2nd appointment of same timing recording.
This Japanese title means “the sound of now”.Morning in Maryland, U.S. and late afternoon in Toscana Italy. In these distant places, we recorded the sound of that moment of that day. Field recording of the driving car and bird voice, etc. And acoustic sound of breathing and Russian harp. This track is a meeting of sound of that moment. More we will continue this series !
More to come.
