Moving Through the Boreal Forest presents a sonic ecosystem of field recordings throughout Alaska, found sounds from my explorations throughout In A Time of Change: Boreal Forest Stories (ITOC), and performed sounds of my own creation. The timbral diversity of various percussion instruments combined with the many sounds of the boreal forest presents a sonic dialogue that has been of primary interest to me throughout ITOC, as both a music performer and as a listener and learner of this particular biome. The field recordings reorient the percussion instruments back to their original material state: wood, metal, stone, earth, and skin. In turn, the performed sounds open up the expressive aspects of the forest itself. At times the field recordings are most prominent, other times the performed sounds are heard alone, and occasionally the two are indistinguishable.
