FIELD EAUX by C. Ballantyne

This is Field Eaux. Every sound heard- apart from vocals- was built from a field recording collected at Eaux Claires in the summer of 2017 using just a ZOOM Q2HD. The sounds were then stretched, cut up, distorted, and manipulated to create instruments from the experience. The lyrics within the project welled up from short impressions upon me during my time travelling to Eau Claire, from the hometown in Ontario, with friends + collaborators Tom Meikle & Will Crosson.
