This collection of pieces originates from environmental sounds recorded using 3D ambisonic microphones. The recordings have been deconstructed, processed, and composed into abstract musical journeys that no longer transport the listener to the original recording locations. Instead, they tell stories— partly of human-made dystopias and partly in search of a melancholic beauty in what the future may hold.

“Natasha Barrett’s insightful attention to the spatial and durational character of real-world sound and to the compositional qualities of moments of memory make her both an indicative figure from the current musical landscape and an exceptional presence within it.” — The Wire
