Tracks 1, 3, and 5 are realtime improvisations using various analog devices in a feedback-based configuration, played with two infrared motion controllers. Treated by convolving with the sound of a decommissioned nuclear reactor hall in Sweden.

     Track 2 is based on a field recording of a small plane flying over Cape Cod Bay near Provincetown, Massachussetts (October 2012). Treated by time-stretching to eight times its original length, with added harmonics based on 52Hz (the emergent prominent pitch of the recording).

     Track 4 is Track 2, reversed.

     The impulse response recording used to treat Tracks 1, 3, and 5 is from: www.openairlib.net, Audiolab, University of York / Dr. Damian T. Murphy www.openairlib.net/auralizationdb/content/r1-nuclear-reactor-hall
