⇊Underlude⇊ - Water table

from "I'm in the abyss!" by Abandon Reason

about

When recording the Yawning Chasm songs for this compilation we had an encounter with a pair of clampers who happened to just be checking on the place. We were on the third floor down but they treated the whole thing as very ordinary. They were interested to know what we were doing, and amazed by Aaron's homemade mini-cello and amp ("That's the most peculiar thing I've ever seen!"). We found out from them that the water that covers much of each floor is not rainwater but seeping seawater. I happened to be holding a Zoom at the time so I managed to record the entire exchange, some of which can be heard here.
Also heard is a clip from the very first recording made in the car park in 2010, when Aaron and I brought a baritone ukulele and ebow down. Neither of us had a digital recorder then, so it's recorded on tape - hence the hiss. Also heard are samples of the vibrations from the machine that pumps the standing water back out of the building (recorded the day after our encounter with the clampers, just before doing the Raising Holy Sparks track). The machine is obviously fighting a losing battle, and the building is bound up in so much legal wrangling that no other maintenance is provided. So the water builds up, and as it does it changes the acoustics.
