Elephant (Old Bagan)

Reimagined by Richard Watts.

"The piece is called 'Elephant'. The original recording mentions elephant a lot so I have based the piece on that. I started by creating some sounds that I thought sounded like the noise an elephant makes - I slowed the original down and reserved it. Then I layered synth, strings and piano over it. I also isolated some of the voices in the original recording and added those too. I was trying to get a sense of memory running through it. Elephants are supposed to have excellent memories."
