Cities and Memory - remixing the world

"I found the idea of candy cutting and the cheerful voices on the original recording very reminiscent of a childhood memory. The fact that I cannot understand the Japanese being spoken makes it further seem like a hazy memory. 
"I wanted to retain the cheerful, nostalgic tone that I perceived while adding a melodic component on top of the rhythm created naturally by the candy cutting."  
Candy cutting in Kawasaki reimagined by David Jolly.

On the street leading to Kawasaki Daishi, the sharp, percussive sound of hand‑cut sugar candy forms a steady rhythm.
Shopkeepers’ voices enter from both sides, calling out “Welcome” and offering tastes of candy just cut moments before.

| A wild night at Lake Masek in Ndutu, Tanzania. Hear hyenas whooping, lions roaring, jackals calling, hippos grunting, zebras barking, and flamingos vocalizing-all in one incredible soundscape. Perfect for immersion, study, sleep, or experiencing the true chaos of the African night.

"I spend a lot of my time leading community choirs and singing protest songs, rousing anthems of freedom and liberty - and now, more than ever, they are needed. This is not a protest song, it is a plea. Ask yourself, which side are you on?"

"This is my second attempt at producing a piece of music using the source sample. The original sample contains a clean, distinct loop of tribal drumming, and at first I constructed a piece based on that loop, with rhythmic and melodic elements stacked, and arranged into an EDM piece. 
"That was a bit too obvious, so instead I took the loop, deconstructed it, and applied pitch-shifting, filtering and other processing to elements to come up with the low-frequency sounds (at 52s, and later in the track) as well as the various bleeps and glitches that run through the track (the original loop - in a processed form - is also in there, reversed and pushed back in the mix). 
"The other elements, sections and movements grew out of those treated sounds organically; I didn't plan in any great detail how I wanted it to sound, and serendipity definitely played a part in how it turned out, but it is influenced to a degree by the book Underland by Robert MacFarlane (hence the title) - I wanted to convey some of the imagery and concepts in that work (deep time, and the physical heaviness of the world beneath our feet), and used low-frequency and heavily reverbed sounds, as well as a slow tempo (55bpm) to create a sense of drama, depth and space.
