With meditations in structure, sound transference through the body, spatial influence on compositional development, and field recording improvisation, Earth Drones is Largent's initial exploration of durational performance, excavation into layers of consciousness, and void exploration through experiments with context-based recording and sound density. Recorded across three states that possess generational memory and connection, each piece explores a different aspect of the primordial relationship of the mind to the body, the vessel that is the body, and the connection between the vessel and its natural surroundings. Combined with this, the work explores the manipulation of the sonic frequencies of four acoustic instruments (harmonium, shruti box, three cymbals, toms) in order to heighten the listening environment for reflective explorations of time, memory, and depths of psychological reverberations.
