Occasionally I hear the river, and across it, the Westminster chimes of the village clock.
To the southeast, a steam-driven electrical plant drones, and sometimes roars like a waterfall. Traffic on the surrounding highways is light, growing sparse in early evening. This is a refuge for birds and wildlife of all kinds, a well-kept habitat. Above, commercial and military air lanes hum with passing flights while thrush and woodpecker, chickadee, whippoorwill and hawk scatter calls and songs.
It is not these sounds, but the ways in which they rise and fall, emerge, expand, and dissipate in the environment that are of constant interest in structuring atmospheric sound compositions and designs.
