With the wind as catylst, INNER NATURE explores the sound evolving from a perimeter of rustling pine trees that surround a cluster of stone outcroppings near the top of a mountain range in the Bavarian Forest, Germany.

Forming a large elliptical space, six stone outcroppings serve as six stations for the projection of the installation sound. The highest rock peak in the installation is further up the mountain, so provides an altitude for the installation sound about 75 feet above the base outcropping. The entire installation covers more than 150,000 square feet of forest terrain.

The triology, conceived as a sixty-minute, quasi-symphonic cycle, is here presented for the first time in entirety. By enhancing properties of the natural environment through the suspended time of sonic experience, the installation makes available a heightened sense of site/self-awareness.




INNER NATURE
completes a triptych of soundspace installations in the Bavarian Forest. As with the earlier installations in this region, SENTINEL TO THE WIND (2006) and WHITE SOUND DOWN (2007), this third installation is comprised of refined sounds that originated in the forest.
