The Cistern (you can always come back)

'The Cistern' is a reimagining of an impromptu vocal improvisation conducted by Danny Clay, Theresa Wong and myself at an empty water cistern in Wumu,  a village in Yunnan province, China.  
Vocal fragments and found sounds are stretched, cut up, interrupted and re-arranged, exploring the mercurial nature of memory, recording it and how it serves the present. Fragments bumping into each other, parts discarded, fragments from elsewhere also find there way into the re-imagining, trying to make sense of time.
