Concrete Goat Herd Dub

Concrete Goat Herd Dub

Today's piece is a homage to the goats here at Sproutbau. Sproutbau organiser Christina has been tending to three goats in a ground floor flat for the past week. We recorded them today with the hope of a goat chorus but they stayed silent the whole time. Even with the help of resident goat whisperer Patricia we only got a few bleets on tape. So the piece evolved into the story of the goats with the sounds of them scuttling, trotting and eating. We then fed the lot through the goat-dub machine and came up with Concrete Goat Herd Dub. The percussion sound is the Middle Eastern Dumbok drum which is commonly made from goat skin. We didn't tell the goats that.
