Bring dein Brot

"I am an advocate of food sovereignty, and I believe that coming together around food preparation and consumption, in its most simplest forms, strengthens communities and relationships. 

"Combining this perspective, with the visual images the source sound provoked in my imagination, I chose to work with a field recording of a communal bread baking oven in Marrakesh, Morocco. 

"In the recording I was taken by the natural rhythmic quality of dough kneading, and this gave me an immediate way in - taking a few imperfect samples from these, as an earthy basis for my composition.

"I invited several friends to speak simple related phrases in different languages, (Czech, Thai, Spanish, Norwegian, French and German) - to emphasise a sense of connectivity and expansiveness in the piece and bring a feeling of incantation."
