Following an artist’s creative process can be very interesting, Michael Timmins has been known to share elements of that process, usually after the fact when the finished, polished product is done he’ll share some of the early raw demos.
Here he is sharing the process up-front, releasing samples of semi-processed environmental sounds he recorded on a trip to China, a trip he calls an other-worldly experience.
I find the musical adaptation fitting of that trip description, in my opinion music is derived from a re-creation, a refinement and reorganization of sounds humans experience in their everyday lives, natural or man-made, real or imagined.
