Summary

"Watching the World is a generative composition which was performed live and built from the recording which was processed through granular synthesis and other effects. The textures, harmonic material were inspired by the recording with a sense of movement and transition which I wanted to capture. "The piece used a system based on four-part harmony (SATB) to organise the arrangement of the granular layers allowing harmonic sequences to emerge. Apart from some of the drums and the sine wave synth, all sounds within the composition originate from the processed recording." Blue Temple, Chiang Rai reimagined by Neil Spencer Bruce.
