about

Following on from the acclaimed Whitechapel Sound Survey 2022, Andrew Firth returns with a new collection of ambient electronic music mixed with binaural 360 degree sound surround field recordings of locations in and around east London. For this album, the tunnels, streets and riverside of Wapping lend their ambience to the 16 minute long title track. In addition, creaking church pews, water features, the perpetual London traffic and the footsteps of its populace all add to this varied soundscape.

The album comes with an eight page PDF booklet, and a bonus track featuring the binaural sound effects isolated from the music.

Headphone listening is recommended.

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley

Serene ambient music that evokes guided meditation through the use of phase-shifting melodies, droning bass, and gauzy synth textures. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 8, 2024

This is as good as the officially released WRNTDP titles on CIS. Very pleased to pick it up, where the pieces here are longer than most on the records they benefit from the slow unwinding they are afforded. The 18 minute live set excerpt is particularly immersive. Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to release this on vinyl as a companion to the inevitable repressing of This Nation's Most Central Location. Great stuff. Oh and you get a cool magazine to read as well. Awesome. shaun rogan
