"The field recording reminded me of walks with friends and family, on crisp autumn days, with maybe a sprinkling of softs now underfoot. It felt to me both melancholic and optimistic at the same time.
"I tried to capture this with a piano motif, that is then manipulated by lots of sidechaining and effects applied to the field recording, to both create a slow, soft walking rhythm and to provide a sense of air and space, as if walking outside but with a hood pulled up so your are focused only on the steps. At halfway the group stops to chat and the piano subsides, and then they pick up off again and head onwards, or perhaps to home."
