about

"Rhyolite is benchmark album that stands squarely at the crossroads of sound, the natural environment and musical perception."
-Sequenza 21

"Fence, Amargosa Desert" is a wind-activated sound installation made from 200 glass bottles found in Rhyolite, Nevada. The clear and green bottles, known to have been left there by gold miners, are hung on an old wire fence to catch the wind. The fence was created by Chris Kallmyer in summer 2010 and recorded by Chris and Andrew McIntosh on May 24, 2013.

Music by Julia Holter and Lucky Dragons was written and recorded in response to "Fence, Amargosa Desert." The recordings are accompanied by an insert (LP) or pdf (digital) of photos and interviews from the artists about their creative process and their relationship to the desert regions surrounding Los Angeles.
