Prayer 3: touch my life
from Seven Prayers for Stephen Chilton: Requiem [album] by John Harvey
about
Description
The fundamental sound is constructed from a recording of radiophonic white noise with the mid to upper frequencies extracted. The sound was then processed through delay, harmonic, and reverberation modulators to generate a succession of extended and imbricated echoes. At the same time, the equalisation of the frequencies and the parameters of the reverberation were altered manually, inconsistently, and repeatedly throughout the composition.
