Details:
This is a set of pieces evocative of a journey down the Hoh River drainage, from near the peak of Mt. Olympus in the Olympic National Forrest of Western Washington to the Pacific ocean. The river descends 56 miles through glaciers, rocks and then a temperate rain forest. The Hoh River Valley is very wet; it is perhaps the wettest spot in the 48 contiguous states. The glaciers of Mt. Olympus receive about 100 feet of snow a year, and the lower forests of the valley get 240 inches of rain every year.

The pieces were all generated on my computer using Csound as a sampler based synthesizer. The samples are from the McGill University Master Samples CD ROM and some environmental sounds. Many were written in February 2009 as part of the RPM Challenge, which is a call for musicians to get off their couches and record the CD of 10 songs or 35 minutes in a month. This is the second year I have taken the challenge and look forward to next year’s as well. The last half of the pieces were realized during 2009 and burned to CD in January 2010.
