about

Composer Cheryl E. Leonard explores water in California with three intricate compositions. Intertwining field recordings with sounds performed on natural materials, glass, and metal, Watershed features the unique voices, rhythms, and sonic textures of water and ice, while reflecting on tough issues surrounding water in California, such as drought, flooding, and sea level rise. Leonard’s field recordings highlight sounds from oceans, estuaries, lakes, streams, rivers, and caves, including Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge, Windansea Beach, Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, and Lower Cathedral Lake and Tenaya Lake in Yosemite National Park. The instruments and natural materials played on the album are glass, driftwood, stones, shells, crab claws, bird bones, feathers, kelp, Japanese bowl gongs, Nepalese bells, water, and sand.
