This is a process story too.
The original sounds were recorded in New York City some years ago when we were trying to get the 'birds' ear view of the city. There's a layer of (craftily processed) sound recording of the steam heating system in the loft I was staying in. It hissed and clanked all night long. There's also a subtle layer of bird song recorded by Alex in Central Park. Sohrab took these recordings away and returned with a new kind of sound-scape. We already had film footage of an installation of paper birds in a paint-peeling empty shop in Bold Street Liverpool. This was layered up with new footage of steam that provides the cloud and fog through which the birds appear.
