Cities And Memory

"I really like the peaceful ambience of the recording and it got me thinking about how we tend to miss these opportunities to connect with a place and time due to busy lifestyles, multitasking and being glued to our phone screens, especially when it’s off the beaten track like an alleyway where this recording was taken. "So my approach was to create a piece that is uptempo, capturing snippets of sounds that you tend to hear when not actively listening, transitioning to a more ethereal ambience reflecting on how you realise that you should have been more present - but only when thinking about it afterwards. "I’ve used a range of synths and sample based instruments for ambience and sound effects along with a range of reverbs and delays to create a sense of space and time."
