Freighted with meaning
"I have tried to combine the rhythms of this wonderful recording with a sense of lonely distance I've just finished reading Ed Conway's "Trade World" in which he reveals the interconnectedness and complexity of automotive manufacturing. I imagined that this long train might be carry cars which have components that have travelled to and from many places over huge distances."Freight train in Fullerton, USA reimagined by Roland Pyle.

Harps of hope and seagulls of solace
"I really wanted to utilise various elements of this great field recording. There are people talking, of course the busker playing the harp, hammering noises, seagulls and so much happening. The harpist played so beautifully, so I took portions of what they were playing and then chopped them up. I saved the crowd sounds and played them underneath as the various elements: harp, seagulls, hammer noises play. "To go along with the elements above, I created some drum breaks, piano and more electronic dance sounding synth work. The whole track ebbs and flows. There are some subtle transitions and abrupt ones as well. It stays frenetic because I wanted to retain the hustle bustle of the original field recording. However, I have tried to create moments where the original elements can shine through. "When I reflected on this, to me, it really showcased life and how there is a mix of all these things happening (sometimes all at once). Lastly, I appreciate whoever submitted this field recording, it was so wonderful to work with."Harp busker in Paris reimagined by C.Circo.
