Building a church on the streets of Moscow

Reimagined by Cities and Memory. The street singer's voice has a meditative, praise-like quality that immediately put me in mind of church singing. From here, I've constructed a stage for her in sound, placing her at the centre of a fabricated church service. The door creaks open, and the organist enters before playing a brief, droning introduction. The street singer performs her encomium within the church, after which there's a recording of me reading out a prayer inside an empty church in Worcestershire, England. The bells ring out at the end to close the service - the soundscape is constructed from the sounds of English churches, enveloping and providing a home for the Russian singer.
