about

The first movement of the Tuning Machine was composed during the wettest summer in Northern Ireland I can recall. This movement is only 10 minutes in duration and contains just a fraction of the material I recorded from the rain that drenched the landscape during August 2008. The sound of the rain was captured from many different spaces. The spaces filter and shape our impression of the rain. Some of the spaces conjure images of relative safety and comfort: we hear the sounds of rain on different surfaces but from an inside location. Other spaces are more open and conjure very different images.

Throughout The Tuning Machine, the pitch material and harmonic language is developed from sounds that exist in the world around us. Sometimes the sounds resonate in a particular space and that resonance suggests a pitch or interval that is abstracted from the recording and woven into the fabric of the work. This harmony surrounds us every day but we have to stop and retune our own minds to receive it.
