 It began as an earworm - a melody I could not get out of my head from the Bulgarian folk song Dragano Draganke. I thought it would be interesting to creatively describe the process of trying to forget the melody. Reel-to-reel tape and washes of microcassette noise shape a tapestry of layered and speed-shifted flute sounds. Made in New York City, 2015.
