The Worm Turns’ new album “Drip Combination” is born from a soothing practice of envisioning new ecosystems and their specific auditory environments. These spaces are crafted with the idea of soundscape ecology in mind and build a sonic spectrum where cicadas' tymbal beats thrum against passing wind through trees. In an undisturbed habitat room exists for each species to occupy a unique frequency and temporal space. A symphony plays out with all parties contributing, from the swell of diurnal whistles at dawn to the creeping nocturnal orchestra assembling at dusk. This is the sonic structure The Worm Turns' recreates, where scenery takes precedence over songs. During "Drip Combination" the undeniably human technophony of electronic music plays at a mimicry of biophony, creating new worlds where hopefully, the worm turns and even dances.
The slow crescendo of dusk creeps in behind the sinking sun. A frog chirps, followed by cousin toad (deeper). Purple shadows stretch long and distorted, mimicking golden trunks and branches. A spider’s silky path catches the last thread of orange light, and the sun drops, muting color, but not sound. The night crawlers begin their stridulations, chirps, croaks and calls. The evening symphony is tuning.
A frog that is almost blind still hears through vibrating membranes, flat ears behind the eyes. He feels the water pulse with the vibration of his neighbors’ voices, building upon and amplifying his own call, regardless of competition. The Hum rises and fills the forest air, dense and demanding.
Falling leaves litter the stream bed. Swept up by the glittering path, they twist their dances, clumsily bumping slick rocks, and spin, membrane boat without captain, helpless but content, down the river’s path.
Swift drops trickle down through a sodden roof, pattering into buckets in gravity’s timing. Damp rhythms in morphing tones — a drip combination.
The worm turns and sees a beam of light piercing through backs of leaves, the lush (indescribable, nourishing) green glow of photosynthesis.
