I wrote this track at a really strange time during my last year at uni (2017). I was stressed, anxious, doubtful and in a dark place. The music was built around a field recording at rush hour in King's Cross station where someone was playing Barry Manilow's 'It Could Be Magic' on the public piano at the station. I stretched and retuned the recordings which resulted in this awesome rhythmic tone. Some of the percussion is made from a kitchen sink and an industrial dishwasher.

ELECTRIC FARMER (Elisha Millard) is a music producer from Wolverhampton, now based in London. Using DAW software, he builds his music around (or entirely from) field recordings, which carry memories and energies that are particular to that a specific moment, environment or person.

As a facilitator, Elisha also works with other musicians to develop skills in music creation, encouraging people to discover the creative potential within the textures, rhythms and tones of their own environment. His practice is underpinned by his belief that music production doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive, or academic.
