Rubicon Forest Percussion WAV
Starting from a foundation of field recordings and struck materials from various woods in and around Bristol, Ben Tregaskes (aka Lurka) exaggerated these natural timbres, processing them into hyperreal forms. Dry, close mic’d elements are layered with ambiences which are then sequenced in a music concrete style. Gated ambiences are layered to provide rhythm and atmosphere to the loops.
Drastic normalization was used in some instances to put a microscope to the hidden sounds and scale to them human perception. Many of the strangest timbres in this collection were discovered this way, giving us a glimpse into worlds previously unheard.
