about

the source material for ‘fifth song for forgetting’ was recorded at the same time and place as the rain gutters and the telescope antenna that appear in ‘first song for forgetting’ and ‘the third song for forgetting’ respectively, in tõravere, estonia in august 2007. it was recorded in and on the ruins of a soviet-era underground fire-safety water tank, with estonian sound recordist and artist antti mäss. you can hear the bowing of the tank's entrance-hatch handle, scrapings, percussion and water from inside the tank, the resonance of the ventilation pipe, and vocal experiments from various points on and inside it. these elements were recomposed afterwards, at the same time as ‘first song for forgetting’ was being assembled. many thanks to antti mäss for his collaboration and contribution to this piece.
