Chimes revisited
Published 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
"My first ever Cities and Memory track was a response to a very similar recording; that one, too, featured chimes. For that first track I re-sequenced the ringing and built my response on that 'quantised' structure.
"Some five years on I have changed very little to this original recording, leaving most of the irregularity in the ringing in place and working with and around its rhythm, embracing the imperfections and allowing some push and pull between the recording and my response.
"In building my response I have worked much like I often do; searching for anything the recording insinuates, singing back to it and composing as I go along."
