Our piece is inspired by a ‘March of Light’, a field recording from Austria. The rhythmic beat resembles a heartbeat. The voices that call out seem to be either a threat or a cry for help. The original piece has more darkness than light, and we worked to combine this with the tinkling melody of a steel band, which we recorded in London’s Angel Islington.
Woven around this is our field recording of the sounds of Crossbones – a medieval garden of remembrance for outcasts in London’s Borough Market area. The final track that is embedded, is an original song lyric by Stephen Mugford, inspired by a conversation overheard on a bus – a young girl feeling overwhelmed by life’s expectations.
Our sound piece is plaintive, and the incessant beat feels as if it is chasing us – a fitting soundtrack to the end of 2025 – a year where it often felt it was hard to ‘even do nothing’.
March of Light in Vienna reimagined by Caroline Grimshaw and Stephen Mugford.
