"This composition transforms Colin Hunter’s recording, Angkor Temple Music, into a reimagined soundscape that stretches time and space. Using spectral processing, I extracted key sonic elements, allowing me to highlight and reshape the textures within the original recording.

"Though I have never visited Angkor Wat, the recording transported me there. The resonant tones of what sounds like a Khim instrument weave through the ambient sounds of birds and the surrounding environment. I expanded on these elements, stretching them into evolving drones and layered textures, creating a meditative atmosphere that blurs the boundaries between past and present."
