This work by Joshua Bonnetta, an interdisciplinary artist working with video and sound, is based upon field recordings of five different island and is named by a short piece by Loren Eiseley used in the liner notes. The bay of broken things could be seen as a place where, in February nights, it seems that with the sea climbing the cliff, ghosts appears at the window.
The only side of this tape (the other is blank) "The Bay of Broken Things" is opened by field recordings of wind and sea and introduces the listener into a sonic movie based in five parts where, as moving through an island, there's the wild, but quiet, element of nature instead of the chaotic movement of civilization. As the recordings have substantial differences in spectrum, there's always an evidence of the passage from a section to another and this aspect create a sense of editing and movement to the whole track; there's no will to deceive the listener creating a false sense of being in an environment but instead he's guided to a journey into uninhabited places where there's evidence of chaos behind all things. As some point, there's also the sound of the rewind of the tape to show the presence of the apparatus.
Evidently this is not music but properly sound art and so it's not recommended to everyone but only to those willing to hear rather than be entertained. Hear with care.
