about

Field/harbour/thaw is a piece for cello and spatial sound processing co-developed by Nick Fells and Norm Adams in Glasgow and during a residency at Ross Creek Centre for the Arts, Nova Scotia in February 2018. Working outwards from feedback created from the resonance of the body of the cello, it goes on to layer slow-moving instrumental material with processed and edited field recordings made around the Ross Creek area, moving gradually from an 'inner' to an 'outer' sense of place. The field recordings reflect the coastal sound world as well as the massive, often near-silent expansiveness of Eastern Canada. Toward the end of the piece, the cello is abandoned to the sound of the dawn thaw in early spring - the crows and the sound of dripping meltwater, matched by the ticking of a robotic extension to the body of the instrument. The piece is performed in ambisonic surround sound, and is mixed to binaural format here: listen over headphones to achieve the full spatial effect.
