"Upon hearing Paul Virostek’s recording from the villages and communities living in the Angkor War temple complex I was immediately transported to my experiences of field recording in Indonesia. The bustling life around the sacred spaces is very similar and this inspired me to combine my recordings in Indonesia with Paul’s recordings from Cambodia, a place I long to visit.
"Indonesia is a strong supporter of peace and stability in Cambodia and the two countries have close diplomatic relationships. Both countries value their cultural heritage through religion, dance and music and particularly their sacred spaces. Cambodia has Angkor Wat, while Indonesia treasures the Borobudur Temple and the Prambanan Temple Compounds. My composition aims to demonstrate the closeness of these two nearby countries. I used field recordings from Indonesia, and at home I recorded bells and a bird scarer automaton used in rice fields."
