Cloud Opacity must have spent a good deal of time in remote places where a cold wind washes rapidly through the landscape as inspiration for “Backcountry.” The white noise of the wind gives an unpredictable textureal quality that serves as a sonic through line for the piece. In the background, melodic drones like a musical manifestation of the Northern Lights hangs and peeks through the sound of a windswept snow bound landscape with impressionistic notes accenting the atmosphere like lights marking the tops of power lines and communications towers faintly discerned through the whiteout dusk.
