Listen "Funicular"
Episode Synopsis
"My field recording was a cable car journey to the top of an old town. In amongst the hubbub of voices there was snatches of music played on a telephone. I decided to use the duration of the cable car journey as a start and end point, placing the listener in the environment, and planting the melodies and rhythms as if caught almost out of ear shot on phones around the space.
"The human ums, aahs, stamps and claps are the sounds of real depth, the passengers perhaps? As the journey ends we escape into the open air and our song is allowed to escape in full fidelity."
