Steven Mallinder - All the Fun of the Fair

The piece is made up of multiple layers of field recordings done in a stereo surroundsound around the Level capturing the skate park, the various people who congregate to meet and drink in the space, and those going to and from work or shopping. The layers were all processed to differing degrees to make the experience for the listener hyperreal. The fair is on and this adds a certain manic edge to the recording.
