Where There are Rocks…

from The Empty Fields by The Earthly Frames

about

While working M.E.E. I had a dream in which two tectonic plates were grinding against one another. The rock turned molten along the fault line, and from it arose a sort of consciousness, violent and cunning. I began “constructing” the piece with two deep bass lines. The parts were identical, except that one was flipped backward. This often created wobbling, dissonant intervals. I then used a contact microphone on stones to build the underworldly ambiance. The piece’s name comes from Alan Watts:

“Where there are rocks, watch out! Watch out because the rocks are going to eventually come alive, and they are going to have people crawling over them. It is only a matter of time, just in the same way the acorn is eventually going to turn into the oak because it has the potentiality of that within it.”
