In a scene towards the end of the film Through a Glass Darkly, an ambulance helicopter descends and a door in a house opens. Inside, Karin sees the door opened by god, while the rest of her family sees the door opened by vibrations and wind. In this piece, a recording of a helicopter, or white noise filtered to imitate the recording of a helicopter, act as a sound blanket, covering the acoustic string quartet. While some acoustic sounds emerge, most are hidden from ear. Amplification is used to generate an additional voice, distant and artificial, rather than to reinforce the acoustic sound. These voices may be heard as singular, inseparable, from a common source – or, detached, from different worlds, and irreconcilable – or, possibly, some uncanny place between.
