Louis Niebur's notes

DD045 – Lowell 1. Lowell Tape 1
Opens with sting
Rumbling atmosphere. Around 2:00 lampshade enters. Fade 4:34
4:49 – very low rumbling with creaking. Ends 6:00
6:10 – creaky! Like a ship in a storm, with wind. 6:50, tone enters against the wind sound
and heartbeat. At 8:40. everything but heartbeat drops out
8:45 – high buzzing against wind and watery sound. Ends 11:10
11:15 – restarts last cue. Ends 13:25
13:30 – electronic chord progressions, buzzy. fade 16:23
16:30 – slow moving electronic progression (not as chordal; two part) ends 19:21
20:15 – pulsing with whooshing in background. Pulses like a heartbeat. Quietly, drone
enters and remains. At 22:10 another more abrasive sound builds in the background
against the drone and heartbeat. Fades starting at 24:10. Ends 24:32
24:47 – quick cut, something on the tape before (must be accidental)
25:20- creaking with wind background. Irregular heartbeat grows in background. 26:53
lampshade appears in background. Fade 27:42
27:58 – pulsing loud heartbeat alone. Evolves into complex rhythm by 33:00. ends 34:21
34:40 – lampshade. Ends 38:50
39:24 – whooshing, ocean and wind like. Ends 42:45
43:00 – spooky voices and more creaking
