densing by Beth McDonald
densing (v.)
1. the process of felting wool through heat, pressure, and moisture
2. the building up of reverberant sounds in a small room
Recorded in Dec 2020 and Jan 2021 in Chicago.
All tracks are fully improvised using tuba, pedals, and the resonances of the room (snare drums, lights, etc.). Light processing and editing was applied to clarify these sounds.
