I spent some days in Portugal exploring this one river – the way its flow reverberated certain structures & environments that met with it: bridges, architectural spaces, rocks & river banks. I spent time watching it, listening at all hours of the day & night. I stopped working & rested, waited, explored thoughts & feelings that needed to be explored. I lived with the river for a time. Intuition led me to the creation of a photographic score based on images I had taken whilst there & to carefully select recordings for that score. This track is a micro-realisation of one section of the score & features the sounds of the paiva river as it touches bridges, banks & the vistas it inhabits
