Cities & Memory - The empty quarter (Oman)

from Sounds of the Year 2022 by Cities and Memory

/

about

Desert wind in Oman reimagined by Cities and Memory.

"Far from being a silent or uninteresting source sound, the original field recording is hugely evocative and oddly emotional, transporting the listener to a unique place of both beauty and epic isolation.

"For the reimagined piece, I sought to capture and emphasise some of the sense of loneliness and isolation, but at the same time warmth and hope, that the original recording generated in me. Snippets of piano dance around the sound field, anchored by a simple, mellow bassline that keeps us locked into a sense of place throughout the piece. This is The Empty Quarter."
