"My process was pretty straightforward. I studied the photos and data of the river, attempting to get a handle on some of the terminology, history, and science. I then focused on my segment, specifically the reservoir and the surrounding forest. I didn’t feel the need to deconstruct the field recording, as there’s both mystery and clarity in it that I wanted to embrace. The heavy modification of the river segment via the channel and dams factored heavily in how I determined the movement, pace, and dynamics of my piece. The music was created with analog synthesizers and several delay pedals."
