John Wiggins — BALTIC Film 1 (2018)

10/3/2018

In the spirit of Luc Ferrari’s “Far West News”, I recorded everywhere I went on a Baltic Cruise, August 2018. I recorded over 4 hours of sounds in Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia and Amsterdam and edited out and used the sounds that brought to mind the strongest memories. I then preceded, film style, to make a “dialog only” track – just voices, speaking, of which I had many. Also recorded in all these countries were musicians playing outside. From a variety of them I made a “music only” track. Then of course a “sound effects” track from all the unexpected sounds you find, everywhere, when you push record. There is an endless supply of sounds in our world. Mixed together I created “BALTIC Film 1” – a movie for the ears made from the sound up.
