Train Song
Train Song, an acousmatic work, was awarded first prize in the Greater Denton Arts Council Composition Competition 2008, and a jury selection from the Bourges International Composition Competition Electro-acoustic Music 2009. The majority of the sound sources were recorded in Denton TX, and range from the ubiquitous sound of the train, the industrial sound wash of the factories near the railroad tracks, to power tools, traffic, concerts, and weather. The sounds are removed from their original context, processed in various ways, and re-contextualized, moving the listener through various locations, and creating an abstraction of the sound of the city.
