"The field recording I started with was the Blue Mountains Portal Lookout in Australia. What I found inspiring about this recording is the pointillist long tones created by the insects. Specifically, the contrast between the theoretically relaxing sounds of nature and the reality of how intense the sounds become.
"I played the original sound, layered with a slowed down and pitch shifted version and a version with a band pass filter. I then added a simple synth loop and a couple of sequenced virtual Buchla tracks. I mixed this base with a binaural recording I made of a protest in October 2025 in Bogota Colombia.
"Monserrate is the mountain that contains the mesa where Bogota is located. I then added a couple of electric piano tracks for contrast."
