about

'I've Never Been to Hammerfest in Northern Norway But My Friend Jo Says That When She Played This There The Locals Thought It Was Made From The Sounds Of The Boats In The Distance' is made from the processed sounds of glockenspiel, cello and violin. Gentle drones, glowing string chords and hints of brass-like sonorities, build to a gleaming climax that in turn gently ebbs away into the distance.

Dedicated to Joanna Young
