Today's particular music offering by Searchl1te is totally cool. It's really not so much music as it is an aural taste of the sounds of Burning Man. It reminds me of an old episode of the BURNcast podcast entitled "Hope, Not Fear - A Podcard from Burning Man 2006". Having cut my teeth on audio podcasts I prefer sound recordings from the playa if for the simple fact that the listener must use their imagination more so than watching videos of Burning Man and in so doing, enjoy nuances and remembrances of the event that are deeply personal.
Of these recordings, Searchl1te says:
"These are previews of the sound design that will be installed on the base of the Man at this year's Burning Man Festival.'
"Sounds From the Urban Innerground is a 24-hour sequence of recordings gathered by our team as we visited urban centers around the world.'
"The piece is structured in blocks of time that are archetypal in many urban environments: Early morning -> Morning transition -> Morning bustle -> Lunchtime shuffling -> Afternoon bustle -> Afternoon/Evening transition -> Dinnertime shuffling -> Nighttime revelry -> Overnight dreamscape.'
"We approached the project with the idea that the Man Base brings civic engagement into sharp relief. Like a visit to any central monument—from the Statue of Liberty to the Great Wall of China—people will be most connected to the event and its theme when they come to the Man. Generally, our environment will reinforce that experience by creating indelible memories of moments inspired by sounds and the feelings they conjure. Specifically...well...just visit the Man and hear for yourself."
