about

I recorded this in response to "There Must be Other Names for the River", a vocal work based on historical streamflow data from the Rio Grande. If you haven't seen and heard that, you should—https://othernamesfortheriver.com/

As part of that project, the artists asked viewers/listeners to upload their own audio impressions of the Rio Grande.

I moved to Albuquerque in the summer of 2020 during the pandemic and my dog Annie and I got in the habit of walking through the bosque along the river almost every day. While you're never unaware that you're in the city, it is peaceful and a relatively quiet place to walk.

The repeating pattern of this piece is something that I got in my head while we were walking down there. I recorded some field audio and then improvised the other guitar part over that. The improvised guitar plays off the regular rhythm of the first guitar like smaller currents in a big river will rush and slow down against the main current.
