about

I recorded the fountain at the Barbican Centre in London in June 2014 for a performance project as part of Wikimania 2014 at that venue in August. Over the collage of processed field recordings are overlayed drones and melodies produced with cello and loop pedal. It was first performed on 9 August. The current recording uses the same collage as that performance, but the cello parts have been recorded afresh.

The name "Barbican" derives from a low Latin word for a fortified tower or gate. The title alludes to Respighi's Fontane di Roma as a nod towards our Roman invaders who gave us this name. The Barbican Estate is a striking example of brutalist architecture and the centre of one of London's most important arts venues; it's also a home to rich people that was created over the ruins of the homes of poorer people, and is owned by the City of London Corporation, which some argue is a quasi-medieval fiefdom protecting the interests of the rich and privileged few.
