Soundwaves Festival

Remix of an older film to a new headphone composition "There is no more firmament", featured in the Brighton Soundwaves festival.
One violin part is recorded, then re-recorded at half the speed and half the length. This in turn is halved, then halved again. The results are over-layed upon each other to create a cacophony.
