"I chose the sample as it was made in Santiago de Compostela, a beautiful and inspiring city that I hope to revisit one day. The original sample was very distinctive in both tempo and timbre (I believe it is the sound of Galician bagpipes). I went in a very different direction. The original sounds have been extensively processed and treated and fed through granular synthesis software to emerge unrecognisable."
