A caption that reads: "Degree music composition/performance/dsp thing where I worked with contemporary dancers. Recorded close contact/clothing sounds of them dancing and moving in a space with a view to processing/amplifying them back, triggered by motion sensing in Max. Anyway, the place I recorded the first pass of sounds had creaky floorboards. 20 year old me didn’t notice or think this would be a problem, just part of the sound of the piece. These sounds were pitch-shifted and amplified in realtime for the 1st rehearsal and… well… everytime a dancer moved it sounded like a massive fart. Good times."

This music in the most uncanny way conveys the rhythms, the deep frequencies, the dangers, the sudden screams and the rushing unknowables of a 200 ton machine hurtling through the dark entrails of a city collapsing. What a musical triumph!"
