Name: Immersion. by Jacuzzi_Feint
Duration: 3 min 28 s
Description: This song started with the sound of slowed down insect wings and me tapping on the railings of New Bridge in Barnstaple, North Devon, UK, which is a notorious suicide spot. It was inspired by the story of Kevin Hines who jumped from The Golden Gate Bridge and survived. The light behind the heart comes from the Hindu concept of Hridaya, the place where mind, speech and life energy emanate.

Field recordings: Woolleigh Brook, North Devon. Insect Wings from the archives. Chalice Water from The Power Spot.

A plaintive song built up using the sounds of manipulated freezers: field recordings made in Gratton Way, Sainsbury's frozen food section. I wanted to explore the idea of belonging and non-belonging in a place that doesn't want you there.

This track emerged from the idea of trance, possession and dissociative experiences of inside "others" that I'd been experiencing and cultivating.  I wanted the drums to be kind of primal, and reflect the idea of our lizard brain dealing with the non-place in day to day life, a place that can easily kill us without warning. I was also interested in the concept of naming all the names - a theme that has been running through public life recently in the UK, France and US  and in the naming of the dead in other conflicts and countries around the world. I found myself asking would I name all the names if I had the chance to? I hope that I would.
