LIFEFILES are creative exchanges."Recordings of places, people, objects, moments in time, environments and quotidian events are shared with a range of artists working with sound. Those artists are then free to respond to the recordings in any way they like, either through manipulation or composition....
The source recording was made early in the morning on 21 April 2022 while walking from my house to my local train station. That walk takes exactly 4’33”.
The pace of my footsteps prompted the tempo of Maps’ response to that recording. From there, ‘LF15 / A 4’33” Walk To Woburn Sands Station’ rapidly evolves into a euphoric, uplifting track in the spirit of his recent album, Counter Melodies (Mute, 2023), filled with the emotional melodies that are a hallmark of Maps’ work."
