about

"Floating in a Sea of Clouds" is an Improvisational composition consisting of two ruminative movements utilizing appliances as the impetus. The first piece was created around the sound of my refrigerator after I spontaneously decided to record its warm and welcoming hum in the middle of the night. The second movement involves a cameo appearance by my aging Mac Pro.
A sample that was ironically recorded while it was helping me produce the first movement.

The idea is as simple as humming along with the vacuum cleaner or trying to match the pitch of a hairdryer. Something I think we all did as kids and hopefully most of us still do.
