He was gone long before my time, but I grew up feeling his presence in my grandmother's house. Hearing this field recording felt like a way back to him, and to something older. Molten glass has always reminded me of primordial earth and creation myths. I built the piece from fragments of the recording, layered with synthesizers. I hope you find something cosmic in here.\n\n\"Thus created were the islands,\nRocks were fastened in the ocean,\nPillars of the sky were planted,\nFields and forests were created,\nCheckered stones of many colors,\nGleaming in the silver sunlight\"\n— Kalevala, Rune I, translated by John Martin Crawford (1888)\n\nSt Helen's glassblowing reimagined by Anni Roenkae.","author_name":"Cities and Memory - remixing the world","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/2138625-cities-and-memory-remixing-the-world","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43677299/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
