Christopher DeLaurenti - To the Cooling Tower, Satsop (2015)

"The tunnels of Satsop (WA) acoustically altered my sense of depth, space, and presence. Most of the giant, duct-like passageway is a perfect tube, yet random debris, pools of water, boxy alcoves, turns, and the occasional vestibule all contribute to a soundscape where sounds near and far reverberate, echo, and smear.

'To The Cooling Tower, Satsop' documents my subterranean journey into these tunnels, humble concrete troughs designed to deliver water for cooling the reactor core. I made no measurement in miles or meters; instead, the 44 minute duration of this album captures my exploration from entrance to exit."
