Recordist's notes
Wendigo Creek is located on the north west side of High Park in Toronto, Ontario. High Park is the largest park within the city, and the creek eventually flows into Lake Ontario. I chose 4 different locations in the same area from which to record, using my ZOOM H5 recorder. This was created following a score entitled "Toward A Reciprocal Listening" by Tina Pearson created for World Listening Day, July 18, 2020. The recording is 9'15" in length and includes some sonic intervention with voice and hands on the ground cover greenery from 4:04 – 5:30. The four locations include: Creek Shoreline (1:00-2:02); Tree Trunk (1:47-3:45); Ground Greenery (3:28-6:47) and Ground Stream Source (6:26-9:15). Recording made by Wendalyn Bartley
