Piccadilly Circus reimagined by Anya Trybala.

'I was making this composition while the Brexit situation was happening, so it builds into quite an intense piece using the Piccadilly Circus recording. I only used the sound recording and no additional instruments - I use Ableton Live to create my music and used multiple layering of samples and many effects that are built in to the software to create 'traditionall' sounding instruments.

As a Polish descendant, I'm saddened to see so much hostility targeted towards Polish people in Britain straight after the Brexit vote and the general right-wing leanings of so many countries. The world feels incredibly chaotic at the moment."
