"I composed this piece imagining the observational or listening perspective of the field recordist Anders Vinjar in the Bamiyan Valley in Afghanistan, after decades of war in Afghanistan. The recording is from inside the upper part of Shah Mama, near where the head used to be. 

"While composing I tried to imagine the vastness of the region and the passages once used by monks moving through the statues and surrounding caves."
