Cities and Memory – remixing the world

Morning incantation

4 min • 23 mars 2025

I was interested in this field recording, taken from Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Japan featuring monks chanting their morning prayer. I’ve aimed to create a musical space that allows their prayers to serve as a background and a constant, with distinct sections complementing and reflecting the ongoing prayer and the approaching dawn.

Monks chanting in Nara reimagined by Jaspal Singh Bhogal.
