8​:​00 Howling Sheltered in Place but We Are Not Alone

about

I wonder what it is like elsewhere, but here, at 8:00 every night a cacophony and chorus of howling erupts for as far as the ear can hear. I recorded it nightly for three weeks. We are a little higher in elevation from a major city six miles away as the crow flies and one night when the nearest neighbors’ voices had died down I swear I could her a faint thunderous roar coming from the direction of the city. Was it the mass of voices in a great roar of freedom? Gave me spine tingles!! The howling recordings printed with any of the many evening creatures that would join in at the time and I wove some of these samples into an ASMR track. They are layered field recordings in that one can hear the layout of the land, feel the small hills and valleys with your ears and heart. You could discern voices very near and then down the road and then further out and away over the miles in all directions! The sound and sensation of communing and communicating in call and response with neighbors that we NEVER speak to (even the one over the fence) all in solidarity, vocalizing in a primal way with families near and far way, well this brought tears to my eyes and prickles to my spine and the Howl can be quite loud! Editing the track afterwards gave me the same feeling and when these samples are fused with the music in the song I feel that this sensation comes through at times. Bone chilling! Humans singing together for freedom and for union! We are all in this together.
