Hildegard Westerkamp (British Columbia, Canada) has been at the forefront
of creative composition with field recordings since the 1970's. In
this classic track (the full piece is 17 minutes long), she evokes
the old growth forests of western Canada. The cry of a raven is slowed
to become the heart/drumbeat of the forest, rivers sounds recur and
eventually loop, calling to mind the hypnotic spell of water, and creaking
trees, bird cries, and engines appear and disappear as in a dream.
