Nick Jones - The Hour Glass (Senegal)

from Sounding Nature - reimagined sounds by Cities and Memory

/

about

"As its source material this piece uses the sound of sand being blown around a desert in Senegal. I loved the tactile nature of this recording when I first heard it and it immediately thought of the sand in an hour glass being used to measure time. My piece explores the relationship between time passing and physical states changing and uses text from the poem 'Hourglass Sand' by Kurt Hearth."
