Tour de Levi remix by Dan Tapper

The composition further explores the water tower in three distinct sections. The first: Looks at the low frequency resonances of the water tower, creating deep drone and transient material. The second: Investigates the exterior sounds of the tower, looking at the sounds of birdcall and how variations in repetition can create a perceived soundscape. This section is later combined with the sounds of the fire crew. The third: Creates a hybrid between real and imagined space, incorporating sounds of other resonant objects - a set of saucepans from my kitchen - with the water tower's interior. The composition was created for a multi-channel performance as part of the Sound Travels Intensive run by NAISA - http://naisa.ca/ The presented composition is a slightly reworked version for stereo. It is highly recommended that the piece is listened to on headphones or good quality monitor speakers as the low frequency material featured in several of the sections is too low for laptop/computer speakers to effectively reproduce.
