| David Haney Album Release Party CIRCADIAN WORLD CLOCK from David Haney and Big Round Records is a captivating exploration of nature's musical landscape. In this groundbreaking recording project, Haney challenges participants from around the world to submit 2-3 minute field recordings, each recorded at the specific hours of the day prescribed by the monastic Liturgy of the Hours. These field recordings from the United States, Russia, Brazil, and many other locales make a powerful statement about our interconnectedness as a species. The soundscapes are interpreted by Haney and his fellow musicians with piano, mallets, EBows, drums, percussion, didgeridoo, and an assortment of brass and reed instruments. The Circadian World Clock is a set of field recordings with musical interpretations. Each participant was asked to record at a specific time of day. The time designations are based on the monastic liturgy of the hours: PRIME, TERCE, SEXT, NONE, VESPERS, COMPLINE, VIGIL, MATINS. In January 2019 and on January 25, 2020, participants all over the world submitted 2-3 minute field recordings for this project. The end result was a recording that starts with the 6 A.M. submissions and proceeds throughout the day at intervals of 3 hours, ending at 3 A.M. on the next day. The next step involved creating a live soundtrack; musicians created a musical landscape based on the field recordings. Circadian World Clock 2020 On what is normally one of the most travelled days of the year, there was a quiet like the calm before an impending storm. Segments shot worldwide on January 25, 2020 at hourly intervals from Tasmania, Australia; China; Thailand; Finland; Cape Verde, Africa; USA; Argentina; and Brazil.
