"Dante describes this circle of hell as a wet and cold place. I created this piece by recording several different scenarios of water dripping and pouring. I layered the sounds of water pouring onto leaves, muck, and towels to create the sounds. I further manipulated them by slowing them down and adding effects. I also recording my family and pets eating meals for several weeks. There is one sound that represents Cerberus that fades in and out, it is a brooding, heavy breathing."
