northingland

Northing is the fictional landscape -- a watershed in northern New England. These recordings document the same place through weather, season, and time rather than story.

A ridge down to a wet meadow. A spring. A forest crossing. A beaver pond. An old orchard. A stone foundation in a clearing. These are recordings of the place, one pass at a time. Its past reveals itself in pieces. You might find a tally sheet, a field note, a photograph, or records kept over years far longer than the footage itself. You never encounter the whole of it, only what happens to be noticed on a given pass, in one weather, one mood. Return and it is the same place, observed again, perhaps a little differently. 

Many of these recordings are hour-long and unhurried, intended to accompany sleep, work, reading, meditation, or quiet moments.
