about

Around the time of putting this together (around mid to late 2007), I'd started getting into found sounds, sampling and integrating field recordings into music.

I'd sometimes walk out of the more urban areas where I was staying in Johannesburg to find something greener and more chilled out. I wanted to create a track to do that walk to, one that reflected my changes in state of mind as I went.

The breaking glass sounds at the beginning were supposed to aurally mimic the built-up harshness and hostility of the environment I was leaving, and continued on through the song to show that I wasn't truly leaving the environment, only finding somewhere nicer within it. The field recording at the end was meant to reflect the peaceful atmosphere of the place I'd end up at.

After testing it on the route, the track didn't quite work for the intended purpose. Still a very interesting and weird collection of sounds.
