about

This is based on a number of field recordings I made of working steam trains at an outdoor railway museum. I wanted to create the piece using the sorts of music concrete methods used during the heyday / end of the steam train era in the UK to anchor the work in the late 50s/60s technique wise. I used reverb, reversed sounds, filtered and slowed/ repitched the sounds. In the early 60s in the UK steam trains were being replaced and additionally there was a massive reduction in the rail network. So "Last of her Kind" ends mournfully as the steam engine seems to reflects on her soon to come demise.
