玻璃海滩位于加州旧金山以西约150英里处,是昔日垃圾场的遗迹。几十年来,当地居民将生活垃圾和工业垃圾倾倒在海边,堆积成高耸入云的垃圾堆。我们采访了一位在此生活了一辈子的居民,他告诉我们,在1967年“垃圾场”最终关闭之前,这些垃圾堆的高度超过30英尺。经过多次清理,所有垃圾都被清除,只剩下成吨的碎玻璃,这些玻璃碎片太小、数量太多,无法全部清除。现在,这些玻璃碎片位于麦克里奇州立公园内,沿着海滩延伸,靠近一座废弃的锯木厂。
这片海滩曾经是生态灾难和显而易见的危险之地,如今却成为了大自然恢复力的一个绝佳例证——只要我们稍加清理,尽量不去人为干预。多年来,海浪拍打和沙砾的侵蚀,将数百万块玻璃碎片磨成了光滑透明的玻璃卵石和珠子,色彩斑斓,宛如彩虹——但大多是透明的、棕色的或绿色的。耶!
从声音的角度来看,数百万颗玻璃珠在轻柔的海浪中翻滚移动,营造出一种奇妙的效果。这声音有点像冰块或融水落在岸边的声音,但规模更大。远处雾号和海鸟哀鸣的低吟,为这片声景蒙上了一层宁静的色彩,而悬崖则隔绝了大部分来自公路和城市的喧嚣。这是一次全身心的感官体验,绝对值得长途跋涉。
我们捕捉到了海浪拍打和潮汐池的氛围,以及从悬崖上方流淌而下,穿过狭窄洞穴和沟壑,最终汇入海滩的潺潺瀑布声。此外,还包含实用的拟音,例如可以剪辑并重新用于沙地、砾石地,甚至紧急情况下用于粗糙雪地的脚步声。我们还利用一些漂流到附近海滩的海玻璃,制作了各种各样的小型打击乐元素。最后,我们运用各种声音设计技巧,将旅途中的声音转化为和谐与不和谐的合成器音垫、合成器音色、梦幻般的氛围音景以及令人不安的地狱景象。

Glass Beach, about 150 miles outside San Francisco, CA, is all that’s left of a former garbage dump. For decades, the townspeople brought their household and industrial trash to the sea, dumping into towering piles rising above the surf. We spoke to a lifelong resident, who told us the heaps grew to over 30 feet high, before “The Dumps” were finally shut down in 1967. After numerous clean-up efforts, all of the refuse was removed, save for the tons of broken glass shards that were too small and far to plentiful to remove. It can now be found in MacKerricher State Park, running along the beach, by an old abandoned saw mill complex.
Once a ecological disaster and obvious hazard, the beach is now a remarkable example of natures resilience when we clean up our mess a bit and try to leave things alone. Over the years, the crashing waves and abrasive sand has worn all of those millions of glass fragments into perfectly smooth translucent glass pebbles and beads in every color of the rainbow – but mostly clear, brown or green. Yay beer!
From a sonic perspective, the millions of glass beads shifting and tumbling in the gentle surf create a remarkable effect. The sound is not unlike that of ice chips or slush on the shore of a thawing lake, but on a grander scale. The distant mournful wails of fog horns and sea birds casts an eerily serene hue over the sound-scape and the cliffs suppress most of the encroaching highway and city noise. As a whole-body sensory experience, it was well worth the long trip.
We captured several ocean surf and tide pool ambiances, as well as gentle waterfalls trickling through narrow caves and gullies running down toward the beach from the cliffs above. There’s also useful foley included, with footsteps that can be cut and re-purposed for sand, gravel and even gritty snow in a pinch. We also created a wide variety of tiny percussive elements, using some of the sea glass that migrated to other nearby beaches. Lastly, we used various sound-design tricks to morph the sounds from our journey into tonal and dissonant pads, synth-tones, ambient dreamscapes and disturbing hellscapes.
