Recordist's notes

recorded by: Andra McCartney http://s171907168.onlinehome.us/andrasound/lachine/e/index.php Lachine Canal: Journées Sonores Broken leaded glass shards falling twelve stories down in an empty silo. A hatch in the floor that leads down, down, down; impossibly vast and dark. The only way to hear the size of the space is to sing and to throw, so we do. The structures around the silos crack and cave in, but the giant cement cylinders stand like Ozymandias at the edge of the canal.
