"When I heard the field recording, I was hooked by its eeriness and musicality. A vivid image came to mind—a lonely wind turbine at night in the middle of the ocean. Though from a distant place I had never been, it resonated with me.
"My approach was based on how, even when we try to create environmental solutions, we still leave an impact, like altering the natural soundscape. The recording reflects that duality—both beautiful and eerie—which I wanted to capture in the narrative and atmosphere.
"I worked with limitation and deconstruction, using only this field recording to extract and amplify its musicality. Through rounds of listening, I identified keynotes and sonic elements, shaping instruments and sampling parts to recreate its perceived melodies."
