postcards

In 2018, Dani team traveled all around the USA, trying to get a sense of the astounding variety compositing this huge nation. In a select number of locations, she stopped and carefully collected between 3 - 7 field recordings of sound. 

The recordings were uploaded from the road, and sent to a longstanding collaborator, composer Ryan Rumery. Working with the field sounds as basic instruments or building blocks, Ryan wove together musical "postcards" from each place.

Tuskegee Airman Memorial, SC

Below are the field recordings from which our Tuskegee postcard was crafted. 

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps (AAC), a precursor of the U.S. Air Force. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. Trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama, they flew more than 15,000 individual sorties in Europe and North Africa, and earned more than 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses. Many credit their wild successes with encouraging the eventual integration of the U.S. armed forces.
