Vertonen is the name under which Blake Edwards has been recording experimental audio since 1991. Drawing on a wide array of sound sources--sometimes processed, sometimes not--Vertonen's sound output explores audio terrain ranging from crunchy and dense sonic chaos to off-kilter rhythms to deep evolving drones, making plenty of stops between.
"Pont Respiration" source's recordings were made beneath the fore River Bridge, Quincy MA (under renovation).
Throught the sound processing of these field recordings, the tracks reveal themself like a raw documentation/metaphor of the slow decay of post-industrial era.
