Cities And Memory

"Festivals bring people together: they gather, they chatter, they group up and disperse. The sound recording caught a relatively peaceful moment in a Vietnamese Festival. We captured our own sound recordings of traditional folk music and generic beats, gathered from discos and clubs.  "We then recorded the beat of a traditional bell stick. Weaving these together, we created a piece that blends the murmurings of a gathering with the beat of an individual.  "This pulse suggests there is an outsider in the midst of this tranquil moment. That outsider is trying to find their own beat in the world." Festival sounds in Hanoi, Vietnam reimagined by Caroline Grimshaw and Stephen Mugford.
