"The recording from Karnak is a startling display of different scales of time, contrasting transient birdsong and human sound with the deeper, patient history of the temple complex in which it occurs. “Birdsong in the Ancient Stone” is a composition grounded in the appreciation of these two times.
"An accordion was used to produce the dominant frequencies from the spectrum of the original recording, and the original was also layered with altered versions to create a sense that birdsong, voices, and temple echoes emerge from the accordion spectrum and recede back into it."
