rain contained, rain contains (2025)
5th Order Ambisonic Fixed Media
"rain contained, rain contains..." is a fixed-media piece exploring the close relationship between everyday objects and nature. Made from sounds of bottles, tubes, and rain, it invites listeners to discover sonic connections and containment between the profound and the ordinary. Bottles and resonant tubes act as vessels of containment, symbolically setting boundaries. Yet, by performing them, their distinctive sounds—clinks, taps, and resonances—uncover hidden textures and melodic fragments that break through the physical. Rain, a fundamental element, unifies the soundscape. While shaping the acoustic environment, the rain also consists of drops, each of which can be contained and has its own unique sonic profile. Through careful transformation and juxtaposition, the piece highlights the shared granular qualities that allow bottle and tube sounds to seamlessly transform into rain, and vice versa, blending the domestic and the natural. This sonic alchemy explores how these elements "find and contain each other," fostering an "ecological listening" that reveals the deep interconnectedness of our everyday objects and the natural world.
