about

This track is made using sounds recorded around the home. The title alludes to Richard Strauss's self-aggrandising tone-poem of nearly the same name. I hope I'm not being self-aggrandising here. There's beauty and comfort to be found in the banal everyday flow of water in a house: bathing, cleaning, tea-making. So many of these domestic activities are assisted by electricity that it's possible to get some very strong harmonies deriving from the 50Hz hum that drives the machines that make our drudgery less onerous. There's a kind of semi-ironic sense of retro-futurism here, a nostalgia for days when technology was seen as a straightforwardly progressive matter rather than a cause for angst.
