Hovedoya island (Andy Lyon reimagining)

"I really liked the calmness of the sea which contrasted with the harsher sounding creaking wood and metal sounds. I created a track that features and contrasts between these two sounds. 

"I used a variety of samplers, loopers, delays, reverbs and other effects to create an ambient, tape-loop, drone type of track with a stilted - wonky - rhythm created from drum-like sounds and the creaks created from the recording. 

"It came out a bit darker than intended, I started trying out recording a few ideas and really liked the result so kept the original one-take live recording."
