In 1992, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Valley Flow” by Denis Smalley (Digital Musics & Sound Art) with a Honorary Mention. Denis Smalley has 1 more work in this atlas.
The formal shaping and sound content of 'Valley Flow' were influenced by the dramatic vistas of the Bow Valley in the Canadian Rockies. The work is founded on a basic flowing motion which is stretched to create floating and flying contours, panoramic sweeps, and the flinging out of textural materials.
