Cities of the Red Light

By Andy Billington - part of the Sound Photography project.

"Light saturation. Red. Yellow. Cities of the Red Light. Signage details the future? "Detour" "Hope Street"... 

Sample packs made from city noises ripped from YouTube then manipulated and reversed. Re-recorded to 80s cassette tapes over and over again and saturated in reverse reverb. Melodies emerge. More warping and odd frequency removal. Somewhere the remains of a helicopter sound effect from a keyboard I had as a kid. Choral pads breath life into the track. Finished."
