Nest

A day off
Abby Lee Tee
(9m24s, December 2022)

A day off – the sounds of privileged life in a small, cosy flat while a crisis after another exacerbating in the outside world. Very close encounters with gurgling stomachs, diligent small critters, dishwashers, washing machines, moka pots, tea kettles and a hailstorm on the other side of the windows.

 

Sound piece commissioned by SEMI SILENT in the frame of SONIC FUTURE RESIDENCIES 2022.

 

Abby Lee Tee is an Austrian musician, sound designer & field recordist.

Since 2020, he’s researching beavers and their vocalizations, winning the “Sound of the Year” Awards in the category “Best Naturally Occurring Sound” as well as the “Boughton Fieldcraft” Award by the Wildlife Sound Recording Society.
