#1: Escalator



One of a long series of demos and experiments I produced in summer-fall 2004. The idea was to construct soundscapes built on recordings of underground musicians in Madrid's metro.

This was one of the most successful experiments in the series.... Me, a microphone, a busker playing a clarinet (kind of soloing), and a strange fuzziness in my brain (it was 8 in the morning, I seem to recall).



Will probably rescue some other pieces in the series, as time - and bandwith - allow.
