Caldera is a sequence of spatial audio vignettes, composed of the readymade sounds of non-musical objects recorded up-close at high resolution, played back at reduced speed as a way of zooming in on their temporal qualities and rendering them slightly less impermanent and ephemeral, sometimes played without alteration and sometimes filtered through layers of processing, several copies of similar sounds and processes distributed in space sometimes to create a virtual scene and sometimes to simply create an effect of a “multiple,” only barely hinting at a narrative structure, and constructed via a generative software process, on-the-fly, so as to be continually changing without repetition.
