Heresy created by Andy Billington.

"The track was started by me speaking the word "Heresy" into a simple 8 bit sampler (Bastl Microgranny 2.5). The sample was then trimmed and shaped forming 3 distinct glitch tapestries onto which i layered (via an OP1 synth) heavy drones that sounded like screaming voices. I added a simple refrain with a number of layered church organs cello and harp samples. 

"Finally extra static and chaos was added via the original 8 bit samples. The word "Heresy" had been lost by now and the screaming voices sound more like Swallows whirling in a hot southern Italian sky. It might not be too bad being deemed a Heretic after all?"
