“I stopped to watch some road workers laying cones when I started to notice the rhythms of the cars, how the rhythm started to change as the cones blocked a lane. Instantly I wanted to convert those rhythms to music. It was quite an interesting moment, I was looking over the motorway imagining something beautiful, in a place that I usually found stressful and repulsive. I was inspired to think about all of the other patterns and structures that I could emotionally reinterpret in this way. Then by placing the playhead in interesting places I started to realise you could start to understand more about something by revealing the patterns and rhythms with sound.”
