"Memory Strains" by China Blue is created from the viewpoint of the elevators of Eiffel Tower and created from original sound recordings made from this famous Parisian monument. The elevators are the vessels that have carried people up and down the tower's living body for over a century, and the operators are their guardians. These people have heard snatches of millions of lives in numerous languages for over a hundred years. "Memory Strains" pays homage to these lives with acoustic fragments that flicker by creating a vertical flow of sound.

"Her work is real art. It can effect my emotional environment. The complex sonic layering is calming, bright, elevating and woven with a rich visual palette. Brilliant work in the vein of early Terry Riley." (less info)
