Daniel Wohl • “Melt”

Abandoned and derelict homes are a reality in many cities across America. Through an exploration of eastside Indianapolis, past the Massachusetts Avenue industrial corridor, Daniel Wohl encountered a burned and abandoned house. Using an electro-acoustic approach to his music, Melt, pays homage to the memories made on this site. The exterior seared and the paneling melted, this site was once a home that has now become a melted ruin. Inside the house, an upturned and charred Hammond B3 organ lays abandoned. The haunting sound of this organ lays the baseline of this track like a distant memory. On top of this baseline, Wohl creates a sonic voyage of the fire with the undertones of a crackling fire, a creaking door, and at times the out of place sound of water. Electronic interruptions capture the elegant shapes created by the fire, and the electronic crescendos draws attention to the power of fire and the sense of imagined loss.
