Prayer and Void (Southwark Cathedral)

Part of the Sacred Spaces project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sacredspaces

Reimagined by Peter Nagle.

"I like to work with locally sourced ingredients, so a recording made in Southwark, an area I've spent a lot of time in over the years, appealed. Everyhting in this piece is derived from that recording, using a combination of cutting and splicing, stretching and filtering, and collage. There's something about sitting in a church or cathedral, hearing an organ being played that's not for you, just something you're eavesdropping on. It makes me think of the comfort of quiet prayer, a comfort that's not altogether negated mby my firm conviction that there is nothing and nobody hearing it, and that these quiet pleas are evaporating into void."
