Sedimental Journey

Composer's Note:

Sedimental Journey takes place in a local limestone quarry, revealing the rough-hewn rock and the vegetation coexisting with it, as well as more direct evidence of human exploitation of the site. The video is a single simulated tracking shot that traverses a 360 panoramic image of the quarry. The music, fashioned from heavily modulated synthetic sources, supports the deliberate panning across this wide canvas, touching on rock faces, stony rubble, blue sky, and a murky pond. The piece is meant to encourage thoughts about our use of non-renewable natural resources, the employment and way of life provided by this practice, and our relationship with nature.
