Donald Hugh - Hymn
Coast is composed of various field recordings Hugh sampled while on an excursion to the Cook Islands in the Pacific. It represents the sound of the natural world dissected, recombined and refracted through a new lens with studio instruments. The natural sounds of the Cook Islands - animals calling to their mates, rivers whispering through the night, leaves rustling in the wind - fuse with musical samples and instrumental performance to form delicate and playful sonic meditations of Hugh's imaginations.
