Berlin Dome (as Other)

Christina Dennaoui uses Oblique Strategies to reimagine her sound from the Berlin Dome: ""The two cards I had were "Be Less Critical" and "Find a Safe Part and Use it as An Anchor." The first card I used as permission to trust my initial impulses with the piece. I created the piece in one take, using the original field recording throughout most of the writing process. Nearly 90% of the piece, including the main drones and glitchy percussive parts, was created using the original recording. For me, a drone is a "safe part" of a piece. I use drones in my music as a foundational element: they're the glue hold my tracks together. The drone in this piece is both the safe part and the anchor that creates a world out of and around the original recording."
