Ecosystem collapse

"The original field recording of the botanic gardens in Tallinn, Estonia, reminded me of how much I enjoy visiting these spaces, unusual and exotic flora from around the world in a little capsule… some rare specimens may only exist in these manmade protective bubbles…"For the project I extracted 6 sections of the original audio, between 5 and 25 seconds in length… (No other audio was used). I processed these on my iPad with various granular synthesis apps (Fluss, Tardigrain, Outgrowth, etc.)to dissect, disassemble, rearrange and reconstruct into a new composition."As well as adding further effects; delay, filter, distortion and reverb etc. to create 3 separate granular textured layers which I then combined together to create the final track.  Some eq/compression to finalise.“The recursive manipulation; chopping, stretching and distorting of the original audio, creates a sort of dystopian cybernetic jungle, a cacophony of alien and mechanical, yet almost familiar sounds, echo around this synthetic environment…”Botanic garden in Tallinn reimagined by id_23.
