"My project was a field recording of an anti-Trump protest, the voice of the woman in the recording seemed to hold a lot of power and with the music I tried to give it the sense of hope like she’s pleading to make us understand we are all one and there can’t be racism, discrimination and also in these times war.

"The track is composed of a texture sample I created with some mangled sampled voice from the file that I thought would give it a little bit of a blues feel, in tribute to the culture of sorrow that is the blues and it’s appropriate for the message. They loop throughout the song, repeating the message.
