It’s September 2016, and I am on Fair Isle. Following John Cage’s thinking I identified 16 places ... places that were not a reflection of my moment-by-moment artistic interest but sites at which the present and available sounds would be the subject of listening.

Cage linked his sites as waltzes; I grouped my Fair Isle places as reels. The sounds offer a sonic version of movement, time and distance on Fair Isle, a re-hearing and re-imagining of those places presented through their sounds and the imagination of a listener.
