Composition by Kitty (Speed for Lovers).
"I loved all the different textures in the original recording, some short percussive sounds, and some longer wider sounds. I started by time stretching the original to create some textures that I could use as loops.
"Then I cut the original up by its transients in a sampler, pitching them up or down, reversing some. Then further abstracted them with reverbs, delays or a combination of both. I made this entirely from the sound itself, there are no other samples or instruments involved."
This is part of the Obsolete Sounds project, the world’s biggest collection of disappearing sounds and sounds that have become extinct – remixed and reimagined to create a brand new form of listening. Explore the whole project at https://citiesandmemory.com/obsolete-sounds
