"My wife and I traveled to Seville on my honeymoon and saw Flamenco. I even created field recordings of Flamenco while there. But I never did anything with the recording, though I've thought about it quite often. When it showed up on the list of possible sounds to remix for Sonic Heritage, it felt like that sound chose me.

"Musically my goal was to keep the essence of the original piece intact while using a more traditional LoFi song structure. But rather than modernize the tune and strip away the history in the art form, I tried used atmospherics and subtle instrumentation to enhance the otherworldliness of the live sound captured by Stuart in the original recording."
