Acousmatic

Creature Comforts (July 2007)

A new, albeit mini, acousmatic piece. It is deliberately economical in both gesture and source material - two things I've started to really value in my live playing, and that I always found hard to manage in the studio (wanting to use every idea).

The bulk of the material comes from a field recording of some budgies in a pet shop on Leith Walk, who turned out to be doing a pretty good high-speed impression of sea-gulls. The only other source is a circuit-tickled radio, that gives one, comparatively untreated, layer of birdsong an identity crisis.
