buccalcavity inversion

2020

Cold air trapped in the canyon and topped by a layer of warm air, in combination with moisture and condensation, form the phenomenon referred to as the full cloud inversion; layered with the "buccalcavity" soundscape from the blendways sound art album biodrone. blendways is mixed media multisensory ecological reveries including soundscape ecology, sound collage, ambient music, field recordings, zines, future news, and nous news. The disintegration is occurring. The decay is creeping. This burial ground in desuetude.
