Drawing Of  A Landscape
composition

The recordings for Drawing Of A Landscape were made in the North East of Belgium, in the province of Limburg. The starting point was a visit to a nature park called the Sahara in Lommel, a peculiar sand landscape surrounded by needle-leaved trees and a lake in the middle. This nature landscape is the result of years of sand mining for the glass industry in the 1920s. Sound recordings took place in a traditional glass workshop, a sand mining area and the Sahara. The tones added to the track are made from recordings of singing glasses. Drawing Of A Landscape investigates the hidden underlaying layers throughout time, whereas the eye can only see the present result of this history.
