Review of Fresh Pond Trees


Golden ears recording of an evocative sound of two trees rubbing together in the wind.
But the narration goes in two directions at once, perhaps too cautiously in either. Science or poetry? Mathematics or music? The piece itself seems caught in the middle of a choice it asks us to make.
Describe the scene dispassionately, and let the metaphors fall where they may; or be more fully engaged to evoke even more personal images, mergin speaker and sound.
A real gift. Luscious, glossy, detailed and memorable sound image. What a find! Thanks!
