RAINFOREST RAVEN (2020)
a soundscape composition for eight
digital soundtracks
This soundscape
composition takes you on a journey through a West Coast
rainforest, starting with water dripping down the rock ledges
at the edge of the forest. As guided by a raven, the overall
emotional trajectory for the listener goes from joyful to very
sombre, and finally we re-emerge (as hopefully we all will
from this dark time we're going through) into a brighter day.
Rainforest Raven is available on sonus.ca
Original recordings the composer's
cellphone recordings on Galiano Island, BC. Sound processing
realized with Soundhack convolution and Chris Rolfe’s MacPod
software, with spatialization created by Harmonic Functions’ TiMax2 matrix
mixer, marketed by Outboard Inc (UK).
Sound Example available
A detailed documentation of the entire work, its sources,
processing and multi-track mixing scheme is available from
the composer (truax@sfu.ca), as well as the 8-track
soundfiles for performance.
