Orlando Black Lives Matter protest reimagined by de Velden.
"I was struck by how in this recording of a Black Lives Matter protest the tone moved between moments of practicality - organisational announcements - and a profound collective response to a shared experience. Such, I suppose, is the nature of protest. I sought to articulate this musically, underscoring some moments, giving extra space to others. I hope the result does the original recording, and the moment it captured, some form of justice."
