# soundtrack : alternative echelons # alternative echelons
Sound design for [alternative echelons](http://www.amypickles.co.uk/research-ing/alternative-echelons-1) by [Amy Pickles](https://www.amypickles.co.uk/). _alternative echelons_ is a research project to challenge colonial occupation and corporate, capitalist listening. Sound design for [alternative echelons](http://www.amypickles.co.uk/research-ing/alternative-echelons-1) by [Amy Pickles](https://www.amypickles.co.uk/). _alternative echelons_ is a research project to challenge colonial occupation and corporate, capitalist listening.
The sound was generated through a self oscillating reverb module unit on a eurorack synthesiser. Achieved through no input, self patching, the recording is a re-edited live improvisation. As the work centres around the British listening station at Dhekelia in Cyprus, experimentation with no-input feedback mixing seemed relevant. A sinister acoustic aesthetic is then contrasted against the sunny warm scenes of Cyprus, in which digital surveillance is being orchestrated at a global level. The video above is the trailer to the live performance, and projection that was to happen in November 2020. An improvised soundtrack was performed live and consisted of pre-recorded and synthesised material. Documentation of the performance can be watched on [vimeo](https://vimeo.com/495285427)

This is an ongoing collaboration with [Amy Pickles](https://www.amypickles.co.uk/) the final work yet to be finalised.
