un_natural field_recordings_04:33:00 is a time-based score for "unnatural" field recordings, or recordings of sounds generated by humans or by human-made objects. These recordings contain amplified voices, digital voices, tones, buzzers, bleeps, and other mechanical and digital sounds heard in cities. Occasionally, "natural" sounds; animals, insects, water, etc., are audible in the recordings.
Using a palette of recordings, from Berlin, Vienna, Istanbul, and Mexico City, I followed the following score which has four different, thematic sections.
