Autumn's ritual 5:42

4d ago5:42

5:42

"The bells of the reindeer are used throughout the piece, blended with the chimes and drum to create a dark paganesque soundscape. The words were a collaboration with Bianca Chudley le Corre. "It is a meditation on the lives of the reindeer herder, the rituals as autumn passes to winter, the knowledge of routes & tradition passed down through the g…

"When I first heard the ticking of the traffic light in the field recording, I instantly recognized its potential and shared it with my bandmates, Sandeep and Darren. We decided to use it as the rhythm section's backbeat and composed guitar and bass parts around it. "It's amazing how this traffic light in Greece uses various sounds to guide pedestr…

Spring reindeer bells in Khingan 3:58

4d ago3:58

3:58

In west-north Khinga mountains, there is a very special community called Chinese Evenki. Their language is disappearing with the traditional migration life. And it's happening in the last 30 years. They used to live with reindeers in the deep mountains. And they were hunters. But when I was there, only around 20 people in the mountain who take care…

Eucharist service at the iconic, historic St. Paul's Cathedral in London, one of the most famous sacred spaces in the United Kingdom.

"My sound (Eucharist at St Pauls) was randomly assigned. I don't personally have a religious faith, but the sound got me curious about how believers might experience communication with 'God'. When I received this assignment I'd just made a foxhole radio and had the magic of transmitting/receiving messages very much in mind- and how they can be affe…

A soundscape from Russalka beach, Tallinn, as jackdaws angry at us walking through their low tide feeding area circle above us angrily.

Inside Treviso's cathedral, we record the space itself, before heading down to the crypt door, through which we can overhear a mass taking place, as if from a large distance away - we exit the cathedral to hear the different in the sonic ambience, as the traffic noise of the city immediately hits us anew.

"Structurally, I transferred the crow of the cockerels into midi notes and used these for the overall cadence and tonality of the arrangement.

A cockerel crow from the original recording was then pitch shifted, stretched and layered texturally into the recorded arrangement…

Be still 2:41

4d ago2:41

2:41

"“Be Still” is a reimagining of my experience with guided meditation. As a novice, I find it so intensely difficult to not let my mind wander to the places and sounds that constantly swirl my mind, or to think about the neurons firing in my head making the thoughts race by. "When I listened to the Italian busking track, my mind kept going back to t…

"Birds are nature's earliest virtuosos, their voices creating complex melodies that speak to the very essence of existence itself. Music is nature's ageless story.

"The idea was to capture something soft that reflected the serenity of this place. Something that inspires well-being and balance. On a more technical side, the biggest challenge was to manage the reverb present throughout the recording. A separation was therefore made, one attack equals one note, in other words each transient became a note." St Pe…

A ghost in the marketplace 7:55

"My plan for this piece was to make some fairly delicate synth sounds and to gradually blur them into a drone as the market hubbub and street announcements take over to create a sensation of being lost in the crowd, inebriated by the energy that comes from being in such a lively environment. "I'm fairly ignorant of Thai culture but I understand tha…

"Hearing the sounds of the Caspian Sea in Derbent the most southerly Russian City made me think of the wider global south.

Chamber 5:26

4d ago5:26

5:26

"The voice that can be heard in the field recording explains the origin of the word camera in Latin is "room", and so camera obscura means darkened room or chamber. This sound already had a feeling of spaciousness, so I wanted to enhance that by adding a room tone/ambient layer in which we hear people wandering and talking, as well as children play…

"Hearing the name "Ponte dei Trep ponti" you might imagine a three-part bridge, but this bridge over the Palotta canal is made of five stone arches.
