"The original recording had so much rich sonic qualities to it, so much that I decided to attempt to keep the original persisting throughout the reimagining as much as possible.
"I wanted to obscure the boundary between the original recording and the reimaged. This blurring of which is which plays into the idea of the recorded birdcalls played throughout Temmabashi Station - the birds that sang those songs aren't present but their sounds are, a fragment of the real in the false environment.
Much like the trains that service the station, the process was much about the arrival and departure of certain sounds, none staying for long before they go on their way; or coming back as a "later service" with subtle changes."
