Forest Song (Sketch)

by Simon McCorry

subscriber exclusive

about

This is a music sketch for a dance film by Satoko Fukuda. The idea of the film is to place her in different natural locations not as a human visiting nature but as a part of nature within nature with the movement in some way reflecting the space. Rather than using sound design and field recording to recreate those spaces I wanted to try a different approach and construct something with using just cello but manipulated in various ways to reminiscent of the different spaces. Sometimes insects & birds in a forest, sometimes the sea, sometimes rocks moving, sometimes wind through trees. I've recorded the cello using and old Sony mini cassette dictaphone on degraded tape using different speed settings to create an analogue pitch shifting effect.
