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

Reimagined by Anthony Lyons.

"Can we ever escape the signals and sounds of ourselves and our electronic devices? Listening to the source recording from the Sadan Caves in Myanmar, I was struck by how prominent the interference seemed to be from people and their mobile devices in this special place - intruding on the natural sound ecology of water and insects in the cave. Sacred Signals manipulates, reconfigures and reclaims small parts of these signals, blending them with the natural sounds of the cave to forge new patterns, beats and dense textures - a kind of magnified electronic forest-cave results! Some bell sounds are incorporated from #6: Two Gongs, also from Myanmar and recorded by Stephane Marin."
