the road was there (2026)

Details:

Duration: 8:30 min
Instrumentation: electric guitar and 2 channel fixed media
Premiere: Released on Cities and Memory website

Program Notes:

Written for Cities and Memory’s 2026 Spring Project, the road was there uses a field recording made by Mark Wilden. The field recording is of the Hackberry General Store, a famous road stop on Route 66 in Arizona, USA.

I was enamored with the chimes from the field recording, which I filtered and fed through a series of delays and reverbs. The filtered chimes are accompanied by sine waves and my electric guitar.

The electric guitar uses a knock off Chorus pedal, Digitech's Digiverb, and Summer School Electronics's Snow Day Delay pedal.
