Memories of roadworks

Aaron Rieger from New Mexico tackles our roadworks recording: "To keep the spirit of the project intact, I opted only to use the existing recording, no additional sounds added. It was a challenge, no doubt; I couldn't base the remix off a rhythmic pattern like before. It was only after running the sounds through processing and EQ that the remix began to take shape.

The original recording inspired me to experiment with the imaginary spatial characteristics, moving between channels and playing with echo and volume. The recording itself lent very well to being processed as a low-end rumble, giving the remix a dark, cavernous impression. The result is a sort of narrative; a descent into some busy, cramped mineshaft, the ambience ebbing and flowing until re-emerging back to the surface."
