Today will drift (and become stationary)

1: Low Pressure [cf. Stepping into the Dark Touch # TO:27, 1996]
The remarkable thing here, in Glen Cannich, was that I could walk through the foci of these wind sounds within a few paces, as if being part of some great instrument. The blast here was so strong that it took some time to fix the microphones securely — I felt surrounded by the full force of the elements being channelled through this site, and wanted the recording to reflect the bent double posture and sheer physicality I was experiencing. I cabled back 50 or 60m to a sheltered position and managed to run the tape for almost ten minutes before the microphones were blown over.
