To Save Paris in a Day

Paris lockdown sound reimagined by Vlad Suppish. 

"When first heard this field recording I was inclined to make some intricate rhythms with those claps. 

"Main source of inspiration were konnakol rhythms of India, which are made often with claps. Also I was inspired by Coil - 'Red Birds Will Fly Out of the East and Destroy Paris in a Night'. 

"But the name of my composition is sort of an antithesis to it. Every day and every moment counts. And every effort in a fight against the disease is priceless. An applause every evening and my instrumental piece is the least we can do to express our gratitude."
