As one enters the work's wooded grove, one encounters a high bright sound – like a fine aural mist. It permeates the grove, seeming to come from nowhere.

At first the sound seems constant, but if one listens for a few minutes an inner detail and motion begin to appear. After a while the sound sometimes seems to disappear, becoming embedded in the sound of the woods. It is an intense but not unpleasant place to be.

Upon leaving the wood the sound becomes distant and things slip back to normal.

Michael Tarantino, Oxford, December 1998
