The soundscape emerged from our collective hallucinations at the CT3 cooling tower and the reactor building at Satsop Nuclear Plant. We wandered around, improvised, and the spaces responded with their lovely echoes and delays. All of the sounds were recorded, processed and mixed in Ambisonics, the version presented here is a binaural mix. More about this project...
