While I was sitting in class, silently pondering what to make (musique concrète not being my usual genre) I recorded several takes of background noise from the busy class room and started to manipulate them quite heavily on the fly in my daw of choice. The whole process was very spontaneous, intuitive and blind (deaf so to speak) because I didn't have headphones with me and only listened to the final track when I got home and cut it down to 4.33.
I reckoned overorchestrating this piece would destroy its essence
and make it less experimental.
