"Representing the fading light of the sun on urban environments, marking the passing of time, time it seems without progression and a decaying hope for the brighter futures. 

"The recording was of a place I am very familiar with, and I remembered those days watching the autumnal sun fade whilst waiting for a train or tram. The recording features the Manchester tram soundmark, which I wanted to keep as an important feature in the track. The track is also a reflection of the apparent decent into darker and harder times that society is moving into in 2022-23, the decay of the brighter optimism replaced with a sense of impending change and hardship. The track uses the original recording overlayed with various manipulations of the original recording to create sonic layers to explore."
