Description:
"Over the last few months i have been obsessively listening to the music of Phillip Jeck and Janek Schaefer again, whilst becoming more comfortable building songs and textures outside of a DAW environment. Working with the original field recording of train station sounds, sirens, bells and the doppler effect present, I decided to use a pared-down recording set up for the Cities and Memory Autumn Project. 

"I fed the original recording into a Soma Labs COSMOS to achieve drift and blur (and chaos) I used a basic small sine wave generator to anchor the drift and blur and add some bass tones. These basic tracks were fed into an old sampler to layer and shape. Finally I recorded some tongue drum and prepared guitar scrapings using a telephone mic (maximum lo-fi!) over the top. 

"This was then resampled, played live in the sampler and recording to my Zoom H4N. I produced a number of different recording variations. Three were chosen at random, cut to the same length, layered on top of each other and this became the final track."
