Wazirpur industrial

"My initial listening to the source sound evoked strong feelings of nostalgia, (when I was younger, I spent many months travelling around India and stayed in Chandni Chowk near the Wazirpur Industrial Zone a couple of times.) The hubbub of the crowd and general sense of a 'kinetic buzz' would be familiar to anyone who has spent time on the sub-continent. I recalled the feelings of awe and fascination that accompanied my travels. "My piece attempts to distill something of my emotional reaction to, and the industrial nature of the sounds; as well as capturing something of the atmosphere of excitement and pure human energy in the original recording (including the background din of massed humanity, industrial sounds and the repetitive, amplified voices.) "This piece is another step in my series of works centred around the interrogation of the space between cultural appreciation and appropriation, influence and pastiche."  Wazirpur Industrial area, Delhi reimagined by Dead Kousin.
