‘The Land Where It Always Rains’ is an immersive installation for four reel-to-reel tape machines, an umbrella and video projection. Every machine is playing a different variation of field recordings and together they create an immersive soundscape of ever changing rainfall.
In our fast paced lifestyle ‘The Land Where It Always Rains’ invites you to pause, listen and wonder. To be connected towards a deeper listening experience of natural phenomena - rain.
‘The Land Where It Always Rains’ is a new project where everything is created from the rainfall. There’s also a small batch of vinyls coming out and you can follow the project on Instagram: @tlwiar
