Rolling Hills Wind Farm

The sounds of a wind farm can be quite lulling, the slow and steady torque of dozens of turbine blades slicing through the wind. I've asked myself how can I make this environment interesting? A few strategies I'll seek to employ are mystery and scale. If this field recording is to have a beginning, middle, and end then it can't just be 10 minutes of churning turbine blades. I'd like to construct a sonic representation of how I experienced the wind farm. At first, I did not know what to expect, what was this environment going to sound like, how will the sound of these turbines change in relation to my proximity to these gigantic structures. The start of my field recording will be an exercise in exploring the mysteries of the sound of these massive turbine blades. From there I will likely gather as many distant recordings of the Rolling Hills Wind Farm mixed with strong and specific recordings of objects surrounding the area. The sound of the turbines will start to take a stronger aural shape and be introduced into the environment stronger and more cohesively over time. And to give the field recording a climax I will push the sounds of these turbines to the extreme by capturing loud and extremely close proximity sounds of these wind turbines in action.
