Detour
Description:
Recording of John Gibson's Detour. This work uses recorded sounds of the subways in Tokyo and Kyoto, including machine sounds and platform announcements. The electronic sounds are meant to sharpen the qualities of the soundscape recordings which the composer created on a trip they made to Japan. The sounds of this piece are meant to suggest the feeling of disorientation and dislocation that come with traveling in an unfamiliar, fast-paced city.
