From the artist (excerpt):

"[...] This music is an experiment in translating Berry’s ideals into sound. After a year and a half of making beautiful recordings of the Columbia River with Annea Lockwood, I began to wonder if I was only paying attention to the worth of the natural sounds that pleased me, setting aside, for example, the noises that are a remnant of humanity’s need to be made existent through the roar of its machines.

A Fine Rain Anoints the Canal Machinery is an attempt to build a contrapuntal composition that embraces the confluence between humans and their machines and the uncaring nature they pass through. Recordings of water are interrupted by cars speeding over a bridge. An inlet is roiled by the diesel engines of fishing trawlers. The delicate sounds of wind through reeds and bull steers scratching themselves on a dead tree are underpinned by a eighteen-wheeler balling itself down a valley highway.

As a conceptual work, it is a failure. In my attempt to filter Berry’s ideas through our machine-driven experience of nature, I have instead created a soundscape of loneliness, a reminder of what it was to be in a cabin on the prairie in the snow, watching the sun come up, separated from my animal community by glass, insulation, and drywall.

Signs of life reveal themselves, and I’m no longer alone. Drifting snow has leveled the animal tracks overnight, but one can still discern the sinuous waves of the mink from the elegant, contained hoof-holes of the white-tailed deer. The most recent tracks I made himself: deep and sloppy breakings of the ice crust, clumsy and savage."
