Slopt

"In August 2008 Simon visited Edinburgh to perform at the Mach Nausea event organised by Lin Zhang, and stayed for four more days, exploring the streets and alleyways of the city, mainly at night or early in the morning, recording as he went. The sounds captured the character of the city - the narrow alleyways, the steep sloping streets, the tall buildings, the many levels of the city. However, these sounds were left untouched for almost two years, until Simon was once again invited to perform in Edinburgh, this time at the Dialogues Festival. Revisiting the material Simon discovered many more musical elements, which he used as the basis of the piece for the performance. On returning home he continued to reconfigure the composition, that had become a piece of four distinct parts, all reflecting characteristics of Edinburgh and his experiences of the city." Many thanks go to Lin Zhang, Martin Parker, Carl Whetham, Audrey and Paul Whetham and David Wells. Released in clear vinyl sleeve with folded insert, two single inserts and one photograph.
