"Jamie House's field recording, Rotterdam Bridge, reflects the impact of civilisation. There are endless noises of traffic in different tonalities and volumes.
The sound of the bridge itself can be heard, as well as the sounds of nature — birds, water and the sea beneath the bridge.
"The track "Rotterdam Dystopia" attempts to translate this complex system into music. Everything in this world is based on the sea, which therefore appears in the track.
"The rhythm of modern life is played by percussion instruments derived from snippets of sound from the field recording, which are sometimes transformed.
The musical content is also completely derived from the recording — chord progressions and notes were extracted and only adapted to fit the musical scales.
"The track was built using these materials with the aim of conveying the disturbing and sometimes dystopian feelings already present in the field recording of the modern world."
Rotterdam bridge reimagined by RabMusicLab.
