about

Paranoia is comprised of field recordings made at Bundanon, an artistic residence set deep in the bushland on Australia’s south coast. The work and its title reflects a common sensation for novice solo bushwalkers; the sometimes comforting, sometimes chilling sensation of believing that you’re not quite alone out there. Rather than portraying the sounds of the wild as they really are, the piece gets inside the listener’s head both metaphorically and psycho-acoustically: the phenomenon of in-head acoustic imaging creates a cavernous eco-system inside the listener’s head. Paranoia features sharp cuts between real and imagined sounds, frenetic pacing, and occasional moments of tranquil beauty.

Paranoia in the Bush exists as two slightly different mixes, one for headphones and one for general stereo listening. In-head acoustic imaging is exclusively experienced with headphones. This work was composed specifically to feature this phenomenon. It is recommended that good quality headphones are used to fully experience this work.

This mix in particular, is designed for headphone listening. If you do not have headphones handy, please listen to the STEREO MIX version.

My thanks go to the staff of Bundanon Trust, for their generosity and assistance during my time there as an artist in residence. Bundanon was a huge influence on this track, and I will cherish those memories forever!
