The clarity of prayer

Call to prayer in Saudi Arabia reimagined by Cities and Memory. The striking thing about the original recording is the purity and clarity of the call to prayer - there's hardly any background noise or anything else to interfere with the beauty of this sound. For the reimagined piece, the way to highlight this clarity is for the piece only to achieve it or reach it at the climax. The piece begins with the original recording heavily processed and recomposed using various effects and filters, and then using automations through the rest of the piece, the effects gradually pull back, only revealing the true beauty of the call to prayer by the very end.
