‘eight’ feels like the sharpest execution of the IN/EX concept because it has the least amount of expression in it: it is as close as the album gets to being ‘just the concept’, sonifying the nuances of getting rid of one’s breath as fast as possible. It’s still, perhaps somewhat cheekily, expressive—and as such doesn’t stray too far from the rest of the record's more playful engagement with the one-breath idea. I thought after I made these recordings of Lesmurdie Falls through pipes under its walkways that what I was doing was a similar process to the filtration of noise (breath) that Dan does with the trumpet on this track, so it seemed fitting enough to match the durations of Dan’s piece exactly with two of these recordings, and leave it at that. I do miss the aspect of expelling, of completing the task as quickly as one can, that are embodied in Dan’s track. This isn’t enough for me: but maybe the speed of jumping to this flippant and spontaneous idea, and not questioning it, captures this in some way. Either way I’m happy to keep thinking about other ways of asking that question, and leave this version that I otherwise enjoy as it is.
