Kid Kin - Night bells (Varanasi, India)

about

Night bells in Varanasi reimagined by Kid Kin.

"Amongst the wash of Varanasi's night bells I could hear the faintest melody from which I built my composition. I samples the bells in various ways to create most of the high-end of the track, my idea was to create a skyline of blips and chimes, an escape route from the bustle of city life below.

As many cities struggle to balance social and economic adequacy with the needs of growing populations, the desire and necessity for escapism increases, and perhaps so too does ignorance to the problems we face. This song is an ignorant song. It jumps upwards away from its problems and dances amongst the bells, for a small moment at least."
