"I came across a legend about the ravens in the Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The story says that if the ravens leave, the tower falls along with the kingdom. My composition, Conspiracy of Ravens, simply asks: what if those mischievous ravens are up to no good? What if they were able to pack their bags leading to the destruction of the historic site?
"I loved the sound of the vocalizations of the ravens in the tower and so I lightly manipulated their soft coos and clicks in the original recording by Stuart Fowkes. I've added long, ominous strings, dark synth layers, sound effects, and some screeching bells to the uneasy landscape that ends in disaster."
