• I recorded this walk to Major Tom’s Social in Harrogate, North Yorkshire on a July afternoon in 2015 using binaural microphones. The result is a close, head-worn sound that puts you inside the journey rather than outside it.
I recorded and mixed the piece in Harrogate, then processed it as a dub, using space, delay and subtraction to pull out what sits beneath the surface of an ordinary walk. The familiar becomes slightly strange. The mundane holds more than it first appears to.
This piece asks what we miss when we move through the world with purpose.
