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