in the great Pacific Northwest is a sacred place of sound. we call it the great mother tower or ct-5. in the tower a clap echoes 22 times. it speeds up with the curve of the walls. the tower is a decommissioned nuclear cooling tower and it has been sitting and waiting for human interaction, music, and emotion. we've been recording there since 2005. the sounds are ethereal, strange, and hypnotic.
