This piece was developed as a result of a series of interviews published by Binaural Media. These texts examined how various practitioners contextualised their work with environmental sound. Mark McLaren (co-curator of the excellent Sijis label and regular collaborator on Resonance FM) decided to test out some of the many ideas and questions that were generated during discussions with Marc Behrens, Yannick Dauby, Derek Holzer, Francisco López, Chris Watson and Julian Weaver.
'More Than Everything' tries to explore the relationship between songs and found sound. The starting point was a list of a 'top ten' records list drawn up last year by Jerilyn Jordan. Various processes were used to remove and obscure instrumental and vocal traces. These residues were then combined with concrete music, hertzian textures and sounds which can only be remembered but never recorded.
