This project started out during the first lockdown as means of communication and a basis for further recordings (when physical meetings were not possible). Initial inspiration came from the 1980s recycling projects such as “Captured Music” and “Destruct”, both released on the Selektion label who described recycling as “a procedure concentrating on materials already existing on their own or as separate sources as a practical base for further reworkings”. As the project was progressing news was sent across the world of the death of George Floyd whilst in police custody. Sadly, not a new phenomenon, but a repeat of past events highlighting the unfinished business of needing to change the future. I decided to incorporate the events into the initial theme using words and specific references to carry on a dialogue that interacts with the re-interpretations of previous sound sources.
Ce projet a vu le jour pendant le premier enfermement comme moyen de communication et comme base pour d’autres enregistrements (lorsque les rencontres physiques n’étaient pas possibles). L’inspiration initiale est venue des projets de recyclage des années 1980 tels que “Captured Music” et “Destruct”, tous deux sortis sur le label Selektion qui décrivait le recyclage comme “une procédure se concentrant sur des matériaux déjà existants en tant que tels ou en tant que sources séparées comme base pratique pour d’autres traitements”.
