Spring in the Wetlands

2004

In the very early spring, the scattered wetlands of our town are alive with the activity of newborn frogs, "Peepers,” so named because of their incessant, vibrant calls. Using field recordings of these creatures, I developed this composition by mixing various edited versions, which help to bring to the foreground the inner rhythms of the calls; rhythms not easy to discern when heard by the "naked" ear.
