The horns came from my days in Barcelona (Kurzweill K2000 in the house, I think), as did the vocal snippet – it was a group of French girls in front of the cathedral, singing, ambling. (I haven’t done any field recordings since my minidisc died.) This year Matt + I revisited those samples/sounds, built a new tune around it, and finished things off with a great live session over at DJ Kiva’s awesome studio setup out in Bburg – Kiva added guitar played through some wild filter, a bit of live percussion, the works.

This tune is on Solar Life Raft and Sara Taigher’s animation; here’s the unmixed original. Look for it on 12″ soon.
