## Resource

"This is my second attempt at producing a piece of music using the source sample. The original sample contains a clean, distinct loop of tribal drumming, and at first I constructed a piece based on that loop, with rhythmic and melodic elements stacked, and arranged into an EDM piece. "That was a bit too obvious, so instead I took the loop, deconstructed it, and applied pitch-shifting, filtering and other processing to elements to come up with the low-frequency sounds (at 52s, and later in the track) as well as the various bleeps and glitches that run through the track (the original loop - in a processed form - is also in there, reversed and pushed back in the mix). "The other elements, sections and movements grew out of those treated sounds organically; I didn't plan in any great detail how I wanted it to sound, and serendipity definitely played a part in how it turned out, but it is influenced to a degree by the book Underland by Robert MacFarlane (hence the title) - I wanted to convey some of the imagery and concepts in that work (deep time, and the physical heaviness of the world beneath our feet), and used low-frequency and heavily reverbed sounds, as well as a slow tempo (55bpm) to create a sense of drama, depth and space.
