Shorelights,"Summer Cottage Music" (recently featured on Resident Advisor) is a project exquisitely emulating an environment to drift and engage in quiet relief, one that is highly-dynamic and seriously sublime. Soundscapes from the keen minds of Rod Modell, Walter Wasacz and Chris McNamara with obscure field recordings conducted by the late Michael Mantra. [R.I.P.] Summer Cottage Soundscapes was recorded in the drizzle at Armstrong's Lakeport Resort Campground, Lakeport Michigan, Spring 2017. A quadraphonic recording. EQ curves optimized for low-volume playback. Mastered to Tandberg TD20A. Field recordings via Sound Devices 702 + Core-Sound High End Binaural Microphones, and Marantz PMD-430 stereo cassette + Crown SASS Microphone. The sound of sitting on the back-porch, watching Lake Huron during a spring drizzle. Strange lights glistening in the trees. The omnipresent pulse of Mother Earth in the countryside. Quiet sonics / energies not experienced in today's busy metropolises. This and a pair of headphones is a ticket to a lakeside camp in a warm spring rain. Sensuous and evocative. A 60-minute sound sphere designed for escapism and exquisitely emulates an environment to drift and engage in quiet relief, one that is highly-dynamic and seriously sublime.
