Tokyo Senso hardcore

"I chose this recording because I’ve always been interested in reimagining folk music, and I’ve previously created an album that incorporates elements of Chinese folk traditions. The sample of Japanese Buddhist chanting particularly intrigued me. I noticed that while the chanting itself has a strong rhythmic quality, the background voices and environmental noise were quite messy. 

"I therefore sliced the recording, altered its speed and pitch, and transformed it into a hardcore-style piece."
