A play on words

from Cities and Memory - remixing the world · host Cities and Memory

"The recording I worked with was from a Ka Faroshi carpet store in Kabul. This consisted of several people chatting in a carpet shop in some language/dialect of Afghanistan. I do not speak the language so picked part of a conversation spoken between 3 men with different pitched voices. I have no idea what they are saying. I hope it's not rude. "I formed a repeating pattern of this phrase transformed using comb filtering. Modified sounds of carpet tape and other physical sounds were interjected to add drama. Allusions to hiding in caves could be inferred. The piece ends with an evol treatment of the modified crackling sound."Kabul carpet store reimagined by Alison Beattie.
