Quiet Summer Day

A very quiet midweek day spent along the waterfront at Burlington, Vermont. Wind and waves in the morning, calmed a bit by afternoon. The wind and relative coolness--as compared with a recent heatwave-- seemed to keep many away from the water. Between running, swimming, and reading a bit in the journals of Gerard Manley Hopkins, I made three watercolors at water's edge.

       With a sense of a cycle completed, I present this collection of three long, contemplative, immersive sound works inspired by journeys, inner and outer, along the shores and waters of Lake Champlain. This work is the culmination of many years of sound painting and exploration, and this release represents a completion and fulfillment. The three pieces are arranged into one inclusive work, reflecting a journey that begins with evocation, moves into exploration, and  at last becomes quiet contemplation. Thank you for listening. -KMB, 10/11/17.

               

                                    

Harbor scenes, summer into fall

The long summer makes its way to fall. The angle and quality of light shifts, softens; colors in and on water, sky, and land-forms find different suffusions. This is my favorite season to paint.
