Cities And Memory

"The guinea pigs were so musical on their own, and I imagined them kept in a peaceful, quiet village. I didn't add any other sound sources beyond the field recording. The recording was processed with a variety of granular engines, delays and reverbs and the original sound is progressively distorted and altered until it's unrecognisable. I was thinking of the press of modernity and the seemingly unrelenting grind of progress weighing in. I hope in reality this place and people will find a way to honour their lifeways and keep what is most valuable to them."
