Hymn for a Dehydrated Spruce is the first piece in the SOLAR SONIC COMMUNITIES SERIES. It is a live work that I started working on in 2019.
The work is a kind of study of drought and the effects of drought on the spruce habitat.
It is based on a specific spruce that stands on the edge of my forest plot.
The work began after the spruce's physical reaction after the dry summer of 2018; it began to produce a huge amount of pine cones.
The spruce simply believed that it would die of dehydration and gathered its last strength to reproduce. I began to study the trees' intricate communication systems to better understand how trees respond to drought. The sound work explores an inner journey inside a thirsty spruce. It is based on scientific recordings and my own field recordings and close examination of and listening to the textures and sonic capacities of the organic materials in the dry nature.
The process led on to the work with UNDER.
