The second act from a Music, Sound and Technology Major Project exploring a plunderphonics-style form of narrative composition that uses a library of self-composed musical fragments as raw materials. Using these varied instrumental fragments, a musical narrative was created. This was bolstered by the addition of vocal parts that tell a non-linear story inspired by the unsolved mystery of the arson of Brighton’s abandoned West Pier.
