Under the night market

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

"This field recording put me in mind of the anxiety and sensory overload one can experience in crowded public spaces like the night market the original captures. The horns of cars, beeping of cars and cacophony of noises from busy stalls are transformed into abstracted noises, barely legible as their original forms, and the voices of workers and customers come in and out of focus, creating their own music detached from the meaning of the actual words being spoken."My reworking is an attempt to capture and distil those feelings into frozen moments, unnerving and darkly compelling in equal measure. The unease of neurosis and social discomfort can provide its own soothing familiarity for those long-acquainted with its presence."Wuhan night market reimagined by Rowan Allen.
