More Babel…
Posted by listenhear on July 12th, 2007
This is something I created for “Reaching for the Heavens” part of the Scenofest opening ceremony. It was played in the Tower of Babel whilst some wonderful creations were flown and paraded.
OK, so I wasn’t supposed to do this, someone pulled out at the last minute because of illness and I needed to come up with something very quickly. This was composed entirely in one take (no going back to remix, re-edit or readjust), I simply gathered some sounds from my collection and created textures using Reason. The whole thing was created in half an hour, whilst sat in a noisy production office with my laptop and headphones…I enjoyed the experience on this occasion, but I want to remix and change it but so far I’m resisting this temptation.

We thought you were playing computer games!
Reaching for the Heavens was one of my favourite moments of Scenofest, and a great part of that was down to the audio… superbly contrasted against the beetles, flying boats and Jellyfish. The whole thing was oddly beautiful and eerie at the same time, so glad you have shared this, definately one for my iPod
