(i)
A wide band of granular streaming sound
which contains no sudden onset but emerges and is continuous. It is dense and continuous with occasional movement but appears predominantly to push.
(ii)
A series of staccato gestures
which begin with a strong attack. The terminations are sudden. They initially fill the centre band of spectral space and are iterative in texture.
(iii)
An emerging event two thirds of the way through
has a rising motion which gives way to an explosive attacking sound.
(iv)
Covers the full frame from root
(low thudding event) to canopy (floating bell echoes) with the centre being occupied by a wide band of white noise.
(v)
Interruptions of bee-like
frog-like animal sounds.
(vi)
The falling tone is gradual
and dissipates leaving distant echoes.
(vii)
Suspense and
a sense of anticipation of the next ‘clanging’ event.
(viii)
A falling gesture
and simultaneous oscillating create tension and a leaning-forwards expectation of a larger event.
(ix)
Distant bells
create a sense of vast space.
