Holler

"In the original field recording, I was drawn to the acoustic space of the vendor's calls, and decided that was enough of a springboard to create a piece. Other than that, I was going in blind with no preconceptions. I began by adding edits of percussion recordings from my archive, some of which were processed. 

"The piece developed as I added enough elements and it found its form by a process of various edits in the mix, intensive listening and dropping out of the original field recording at certain points as the percussion stood more centre stage, with the field recording weaving in and out in a mixture of interacting acoustic spaces that made sense in terms of good dynamic and structural coherence."
