Rock fans,
Compiled from recordings I made on Big Island, Hawai`i, a couple
years ago, crossfaded together.
Keanakakoi, Mauna Kea Adze Quarry, is located in Mauna Kea Ice Age
Natural Area Reserve, at 12000 feet.
The ancient Hawaiians spent time there making tools from the dense
basalt that had been extruded into the glacial ice cap. As part of
the ritual of the quarrying, they erected shrines to their gods,
still to be seen. I was there to record wind, but became distracted
having discovered many rocks of varying size in near perfect balance,
so that they could be rocked with just one finger. The only sound
happening in that thin air.
Is this natural sound? Well, not by our usual definition, mea culpa.
Mesmerized by these rhythms, I was carried back centuries to envision
aboriginal craftsmen chanting along with these sounds, in the joy of
the morning sun after a frigid night in their rock shelters.

Imagine the fun you could have with Audition's Pitch Bender--maybe
some day when I have lots of time.
Aloha,
