There are eight tracks, sourced from four contact mic field recordings. The odd-numbered tracks contain the original recordings, and the even numbered tracks replay the identical material with all sound above 20 Hz (ie the threshold of human hearing) removed. Listening to it, one becomes aware of something there but not-there, as the throbbing speakers seem to try to express something under extreme duress. "Maguchi Bay is a very ordinary fishing bay in Japan, a quiet place," he recounts. "But the place was mysterious for me. There are many piers and breakwaters at the bay.
