A note from Composer/ Sound Designer Josh Schmidt

"My interest in this project runs far beyond my desire to continue my collaborative relationship with Wild Space (which reaches back 11 years). Site-specific installation work holds within me a particular fascination. For me, the tension or interval between elements of a specific environment that are static and man-made (the sculptures, the house), natural and in a state of perpetual reinvention (the natural landscape), and the dancers (living sculpture) together cumulatively convey an emotional response that can only be manifested on that site and can only be discovered through such specific investigation and creation relative to that site...

For me, the exploration, through of the relation of Loewen's choreography to the garden and its sculpture will be a very special soundscape, a very delicate musical language in which I feel unifies the entire experience through an emotional, ambient landscape."
