Beneath the surface

"Breath, bodies, river, smog."When I first heard this field recording I immediately heard a melody. I imagined the river carrying layers of song, remnants of the past softened and polished by the water over time. "The imagery of an overpass with the river flowing beneath reminded me of a thread or rope twisting, starting from one point and ending up in another. The traffic sounds serve as a backdrop to the initial melody (and the percussive transition) before converging with the layered melody, creating a sort of echo of the past. Lineage, water, icebergs, ships and cities that leave a legacy."Heavy bridge traffic in Belfast reimagined by Aemivore.
