“Touch Type: The Rising” was composed in the winter of 2006 and represents a composite of prepared field recordings taken from the Kansas City metropolitan district. Furthermore, the bitter cold conditions that prevailed throughout the winter yielded an abundant series of field recordings that served as exquisite primers, especially concerning the more “musical” aspects of this work, as many were derived from manipulations of ice accumulated on a series of chain-link fences. The remaining analog and digital recordings were taken from a variety of sources throughout the city, ranging from distant church bells to rush hour traffic.
