Rick Nance on "Gravity's":
Several ‘verité’ recordings of different climbs were combined to create one ideal sequence which were gathered with studio recordings of gear. All of the recorded climbs were strained and tense. My climbing is tenuous and edgy work (at best!). Relaxation is rare. The visceral aspect of the climbing scene is accentuated by using the sound of 'the climber' (myself) pulling up the cliff face and labored breathing as a template against which different processed and natural sounds are matched and contrasted. Although much of that template is removed or mixed into the background, the physical and emotional tension of the climb remains.
