Between Rail and Water is a long form, spatialized, multi-channel sound work that creates a connection between two important cultural points of the city: railways, and the river. Eight speakers will be placed equidistant around the room, two along each wall, to create an immersive, continual sonic environment. Materials include field recordings collected from the Richmond Pump House as well as segments of the former Ashland Trolley Trail.
