1.05 seconds of the stream's audio
frequency data, the rate of frequency fluctuation, has been selected
from an analysis. All installation sound, extracted from the rush of
the stream, is mapped to the frequency content of that 1.05 seconds of
data. In effect the stream sound is frozen in time.
Audio speakers suspended eighteen inches above the stream are angled to
bounce sound off the water. The brook corridor becomes a 389 foot long
natural resonating tube that resounds with its own distiilled native
sounds.

Over 600 feet of aircraft cable are laced up and down the stream. Two
foot bridges give access to views of the work as cable zig-zags from
tree to tree. In the middle of the installation the lacing reaches an
elevation of 16 feet above stream level.
One thousand feet of gold speaker cable visibly flow underwater as they
loosely lace the bottom of the stream. The airborne steel cables
visually frame the stream corridor and outlying forest. They become
guides to seeing as the landscape optically shifts between
three-dimensional reality and two-dimensional framed landscape. The
audio, shifting from near to far speakers, mirrors the visua shifts in
depth perception.
