Contorting boiling water to a slow, smooth journey across space, bubbles crackling, then the physical stretching of the bubble’s surface echoed many times over across time — the theme of this gentle, brief foray is water. Minute detail of water is revealed in the very close miking of the sound sources, and is further revealed as the recorded sounds are stretched and segmented in time via granular synthesis.
