Hudson Yards reimagined by John Wiggins.
"I went to Hudson Yards this past weekend – it’s like being in the future. I listened.
"I lived in two sound worlds when I worked in NYC – one was the spatially intense outside, New York City and the other was the sonically rich, studio worlds I would create at my job. How could they not collide?
"So they did here too. Constant rhythm, suddenly surprising quiet, then a loud bang – NYC.

"I cut out and processed 43 sound samples and beds, these went into LOGIC - samples of a city and other SFX were added as I would in a film. Two worlds of sounds in NYC."
