FERMATA - Salvaged Space (Aurora Borealis)

FERMATA - Salvaged Space (Aurora Borealis) Written and recorded between 2014-2018 in many different places. Sound collage // field recordings and noise improvisations Constructed entirely (*) out of phone and handheld recordings of quiet moments, street performers, instrumental improvisations, and noise pollution; Salvaged Space is a document of the last few years that Smith has spent experimenting with different methods of arrangement and composition. 

"I aimed to prevent myself from overthinking the musical material, instead focusing on shaping and warping sound so that it shared the same alive/imperfect nature of the recorded soundscapes each piece is inspired by. 

The captured moments that drive this record hold great value to me when remembering significant days and nights over my time at university (DMU). Including many social occasions, trips abroad, projects, performances, and mental states. I hope it can bring you some kind of respite during these interesting times."
