Oxford carnival reimagined by Ollie Campbell.
"I used two of the words allocated to me - 'wake' and 'team'.
The first word 'team' informed the source material that I used in the composition of this piece. Among other things, I used excerpts from recordings from a certain prog rock band that featured three drummers as part of their live show. Each drummer contributes to one rhythm on stage in much the same way each player in a sports team has a role to play in achieving the final goal.
The second word 'wake' informed the narrative of the composition. The ending represents an awakening from a disruptive sleep. The rest of the piece is based on my own experience of sleep, and how often, just before I drift off, there are a myriad of different thoughts, reflections and worries rushing around my brain. Sleep is a restorative process and I often awake feeling refreshed and clear-headed."
