{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The Lech waltz","description":"\"My background as a singer/songwriter often dictates how I start my work, but my affinity for experimental music helps to push my compositions into odd or unusual places.\n\n\"For this composition, The Lech Waltz, I created a simple structure. And yet, it was missing something.\n\n\"That’s when I decided to push the entire song a minute or more down the timeline, adding a number of layers and then playing without a click track, mixing in some long drones and melodies.\n\n\"It’s become one of my favourite parts of the composition, sounding like what a river feels like.\n\n\"I was thrilled to hear about Salma Caller’s idea of sharing small musical moments with other composers on this project. It evokes the connectivity of a river that changes with time.\n\n\"I used a bell-like sound from Giuseppe Cordaro, a sample that I turned into a random, descending 4 note melody. From Salma, a rowing noise became a percussive element.\n\n\"The original field recording (Segment 1) of the Lech River by Riccardo Fumagalli was turned into a lovely, noisy beat.\"\n\nSection of the river Lech reimagined by Bill McKenna.\n\n-------\nPart of Flow, a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound.
