Timed delay

"Using sounds entirely from Colin Hunter's wonderfully evocative recording I tried to achieve a sense of overwhelming disconnected cacophony contrasted with a gentle, almost soporific and intimate atmosphere. I experience some kind of timelessness and altered state when on trains especially underground trains perhaps due to sensory overload or deprivation. From time to time I experience temporary deafness in one ear if air pressure is very changeable and I wanted to use this experience to add to the dislocation sometimes experienced and the sense that sound is unpredictable."
