The use of force

Portland protest reimagined by Richard Watts.

"This piece is based on a slowed down extract of the original recording which sounds a bit like cattle groaning. I thought this was quite interesting as crowds of people tend to act like cattle when confronted with danger. The echoey piano is supposed to reflect busyness of the protest with lots of different chants and shouts."
