Richmond Field Station quintet

Richmond Field Station is a remote campus of UC Berkeley, northwest of
Berkeley, on the edge of the bay. In the various buildings scattered about,
many research projects are pursued, including plant and aquatic biology,
pavement research, and seismic structural testing; in addition, one building
is used for graduate art studios. It is a large area, and although it was
formerly used by a company which made blasting caps for gold mining (tests
were said to break windows across the bay in San Francisco), it is now
generally quiet. A current exception to the quiet is a soil remediation
project underway to cope with the mercury and other toxins left from the
earlier era of explosives manufacturing, in which large quantities of earth
are being removed, carbon is added to absorb the mercury, and limestone to
raise the pH, and then the soil is replaced.

The composition uses recordings made at RFS, and pitch and rhythmic material
derived from these recordings. It was composed for Unclocked: Jason
Ajemian (bass), Tim Daisy (drums), Ernst Karel (trumpet), and Aram Shelton
(clarinet), with special guest Jason Soliday (recordings, electronics).
