St Celfer: One track that clearly overlaps with my personal likes: "Who Let Him Out? (Ladies' Paradise II)," from 2012, before you started releasing on Bandcamp and which I saw on your live performance archive (
vimeo.com/showcase/7266704/video/433215997). You take a field recording that has no beginning or end. Block it out. And cog it into a work with other similar sounds repeating it without losing our interest. For me it shows both your intentions and your skills.
Tom Moody: That one was work-for-hire, an idea pitched by a curator ("make a piece using another musician's ambient sounds"). I was listening to the field recordings of shopping centers for interesting "beep" sounds from cash registers, forklifts backing up, turnstiles, etc. Some of these were already simple melodies, others I could play in the sampler by assigning new pitches. There were also percussive noises from countless bumps, scrapes and jostles, that could be rhythmically arranged.
St Celfer: Your track is definitely not ambient. It is so much more loaded than just the sounds.
