"The original recording inspired me because it is a sound I have been hearing in my house during very warm days this summer...my fan always seems to be 'on' -- its sound is omnipresent in the background. While working on this piece, I thought about and recorded other sounds in my house and considered the ways in which they layer one over the other and come to the forefront of what I am hearing. I also think it's interesting that certain sounds divert us from whatever we are concentrating on, and how they become interruptions from whatever we are doing in the moment."
