Music from the weather in North Wales on 14 different days over one year, ranging from gentle ambient electronica on a cool spring morning to wild, almost Free Jazz as the westerly gales of autumn hit Cardigan Bay.
Bio / Background
WEATHERSONGS VOLUME 1: DAYS IN WALES
Weathersongs volume 1: Days in Wales is an album of 14 short pieces of music derived, in real time, from the weather conditions in Southern Snowdonia on 14 different days over one year. Each track was generated by a computer program connected to an electronic weather station at Richard's home in the foothills of Cadair Idris, North Wales. Data output from the weather station (wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure, humidity, rainfall) was used to compose music as conditions changed,then selected results were recorded and edited for audio CD.
All the tracks on the album have common features: Temperature and Humidity provide bass drones; Air Pressure gives higher pitched accompaniment; while the Wind produces a lead voice whose pitch, intensity and phrasing all change as the wind shifts direction, ebbs and flows.
