Wild Landscape is my first Acousmatic Composition. Inspired by the sound of a coin dropping on a table and its subsequent clatter as a result of its spinning motion, I created a piece that reflected the energy and movement of what came out of such a small object. This was explored with use of panning, the awareness of the space that could be created from foreground and background sounds, and the idea of the transitions that could take one from a reality of understanding to a place of more mystery. 
The beginning section is marked by the call and response of one sound to another, which was manipulated further. The breathing space, (silence) between the sounds I believe keep the listener in suspense, allowing them to wonder where the coin has moved to and also illustrates with impact the energy of the sounds when they come in. 
The piece enters a middle section of rhythm that has evolved out of the former sounds, and begins to rupture into something darker and ‘wilder’. I believe this is the result of a build up of energy created by the sounds. (Almost like a succession of dominos that one by one cascades into each other!!) 
A darker mood (almost a release state from the rhythmic crescendo) takes over the almost quirky rhythm and moves into a resonating section that builds up tension. Eventually the ending seems to summarise everything in an abrupt, crisp end.

I listened to this first without reading your artist statement, so as to get first impressions. It's a really intriguing composition - and thanks to your extensive statement it's easily 'read.' Fascinating...
