Stillness · Horizon Line
A wide, soft wind and three bowls ringing now and then at different points on the horizon: one to the left, one to the right, one straight ahead and far away. Beneath them a light drone appears over several minutes. Everything changes very slowly; listen to the space between the sounds as well. A piece of sound design with no claim of any effect.
The same recipe with another seed: the raindrops, the order of the birds or the path of the chords change; the rules and evidence level stay the same.
