Last year I wrote about how I’d like to use the actual materials on the ship to get the “industrial” sound that Hamish was after. With Ensemble Offspring on board (literally!) now, and a workshop with them coming up soon, I’ve been playing around with more morse code rhythms and metallic samples. In this recording, the morse code is much more proportional, and I’ve explored canon and changing metres.

I want to get the main material for this piece worked out in advance, so that once we’re in the space I can listen for the sounds that I want to use to put it together.
