1 Location Volume 2 Jamie Drouin vessel_part 4
  Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
  Location: Beacon Hill Park, Victoria,
British Columbia, Canada. Recorder: HHB Portadisc. Statement: There is a wonderful, almost distorted tapestry
of sound created by the birds living within the grid work of branches. For the most part, they remain unseen...
small enough to hide inside thin shadows, but their presence is overwhelming. I have accentuated this effect
slightly back in the studio, but it is not a heavy-handed approach: a generous section of pure field recording
has been built into a multilayered loop, using the Electrix Repeater, with each layer slightly out of pitch from
the other. The resulting effect is a highly textural drone, playable at a range of volumes. This track is part of a
larger solo cd titled "vessel".
2 Poem Gydja The Strange Metamorphosis of Animals
  On the sticky Sunshine Coast
Fat bats, fruit-fed
Flap low through palms
On balmy nights,

Shadows of darkness deeper
Than the night’s black
That burrow into the secret folds
Of palms’ thick skirts.

In Wellington’s windy winter dusk
Through moaning pines
Crowing magpies soar and shriek
Their pilfering intent,

They spread their wings
And fly too close
As their steely eyes
Eye mine up for size.

At an East Cape beach
In fearful sea, alone
For beyond the reef I've seen
The charcoal stingrays glide,

Winging their way
Through waters, dark
Yet trailing longer
Through doubt-edged dreams.

The flicker of these creatures haunt
With morph of ancient flight,
Like Escher’s lines of blackened shapes
In merge from rays to bats to birds.

  I really like your POEM track ... a masterpiece! Wonderful to hear the bats fly ... they almost sound like recorded from a bat detector ... did you use one, or have you studied bat recordings for this track? ... Charlotte's voice and recitation is also wonderful ....
