Tip! Originally released by Innova Recordings in 1996, Nyahh Records is delighted to re issue this ground breaking and pioneering work of electronic and acoustic work in a deluxe 2 disc set with a 26 page booklet containing new essays, scores  and never seen before photos.

This collection includes recordings made between 1973 and 1985 including some of David Dunn’s work which he considers his ‘Environmental Sounds Works’, which include large scale pieces recorded in the Grand Canyon with up to 26 musicians spread out over half a mile. Each musician playing off a graphic score, with the sound of the musicians stretching as far as two miles through the canyon.  

“ The score specified sound gestures which the trumpets could articulate interactively with the canyon environment. The interaction primarily focused upon 1) the extended reverberation and extraordinary spatial acoustics of the rock formations and 2) the non-human life forms such as the crows heard throughout the performance recording.” Other recordings were done in the Cuyamaca Mountains of California and other National Parks. The focus always being on how the sound of humans and instruments interact with the natural environment.
