A little while ago Stefkovic van Interesse​ asked me to do a version of one of his works and I happily agreed to see what I would come up with. I chose to take his recording "Growing" to the cutting room to reassembled it later with added instruments, tape loops and various sound textures. This is what came out of it, I hope you enjoy it. As thick clouds hang over the city these days, it hopefully adds a little color to your day when you take it with you. 

Listen to the original recording here: https://soundcloud.com/stefkovic-van-interesse/growing

Warmth!
