GEOMORPHOLOGIES

Geomorphologies constitutes a series of works and projects that explore the sound-worlds of geological processes. These works explore the earth in motion, as a dynamic, interwoven collection of processes shaping the environment. The project plays with spatial and temporal scales, motion and stillness, and permanence and impermanence.  

Below is The Passage of Time – a soundscape work that introduces some of the sounds that formed the foundation of the ideas behind this project.

Included in this soundscape are recordings of rocks clicking in the heat of the Atacama desert, ice melting in a cave in Oregon that has permanently contained ice since the Pleistocene, meltwater droplets at the mouth of a glacier in Iceland, snow melt in the Pyrenees, a winter stream and a river in Californian mountains, wind whistling through tafone in Joshua Tree and lava fields in Iceland, the Pacific Ocean waves, and geothermal activity in Iceland and at Boiling Springs Lake at Lassen volcano.

This page will be updated soon with more works and activities related to Geomorphologies.
