Serbian protest (OST)
Mar 09, 2020, 02:11 PM
Serbian protest reimagined by Lee Christian.
"I was instantly drawn to this field recording because of its protesting chant, so that became the central idea of my piece (which meant using it as a 'chorus' of sorts despite it not being in the recording anywhere near as much).
"Also it had many noises with which I could create something: klaxons and passing car horns became horn stabs and blasts, passing rumbling vehicles became sub bass and whistles became... well, whistles but you get the idea.
"My intention was to take sounds from the protest and use them to make a soundtrack to the protest itself that blurred the lines between and added score and the music that might be playing at it (if a nightmarish cacophony of brass and trip-hop beats happened to be their jam!), while maybe increasing the drama and scale of it a bit even. Power to the people."
