Concordia Communications professor, Andra McCartney, was very moved by Liz Miller’s film, The Water Front, and the people in it stayed with her long after she viewed it. While at her cottage last summer, she was thinking about water access during one of the downpours of the season. “I went outside and set out all sorts of containers, metal, plastic, wood, and then I recorded the rain as the storm ended.”

That recording became the basis for MacCartney's own contribution to the remix project. The piece has earned her a place in the New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) program for 2009, which has Ecology: Water Air and Sound as its theme. McCartney intends to expand her piece and “make my own work more socially relevant, and sonically relevant.”
