Cities And Memory

Following Terry Riley’s concert at Yokoo House on Teshima Island, I walked through the darkness back to the ryokan when an enigmatic, high-frequency resonance caught my attention.  Curious and compelled, I ran to fetch my two recorders and spent the night listening and recording. The sound — from a summer insect I still can’t identify — remains a mystery that hums in memory. Recorded by Heu.
