Hossam Hilal - Hoot (minke whale)

from Polar Sounds by Cities and Memory

/

about

The idea started by analyzing the field recording, and adding more instruments to play the same notes. Then I took a part of the field recording, and analyzed its rhythm and tempo and put it as the base of the track, then I recorded percussion and guitars. The field recording inspired me in the sense of trying to use it as an instrument, and as a composition tool at the same time, with the sound of the whale dictating the tempo and the key of the composition.
