Program notes
A method of controlling a partly dead fire edge by carefully inspecting and feeling with the hand for heat to detect any fire, and lining any live edge.
Over two harrowing weeks in January 2025 I made an archive of backyard field recordings during the fires in Los Angeles: the wind gusts approaching 100 miles an hour; a tree falling near my house and its subsequent rattling in the wind; the omnipresent rescue helicopters; and capturing a real-time event marking the inexorable future of climate change in my home.
