Composition by the Figurehead.
"I imagine that my old phone got dismissed on this day 30 years ago. The end of an era of naivety when phone calls had a different importance. Secrets whispered in a corridor never far enough from prying ears.
"I let myself be drawn into the bittersweet nostalgia of youth, crafting sounds that remind me of those times with a FM synth (more popular back then than subtractive synthesis). I used the sounds of the old phone as percussive elements and, stretched and processed beyond recognition, as background noise.
