A taste of money

Bank of England, London lockdown sound reimagined by Simon Woods.

"The original field recording is outside the Bank of England on Threadneedle street. My reimagined piece is made entirely out of money.
 
"Coins are spun, dropped and shaken on different surfaces. A £20 note is flicked as is a credit card. They are then filtered, delayed, granulized, reversed and just generally cut up.
 
"The more musical section are achieved by making the sound recording of the money as the wavetable in several wavetable synths."
