cataclysm II
here's a video for "cataclysm II" - it's a poor goldfish that a relative keeps in their bathroom in this absurdly small bowl, and seemed fitting for this piece.

captains of industry
captains of industry is complete and available for free.
the main piece is based around a tour of a concrete plant - see the short videos below to get some idea of how strange the place was. the day we went there was literally no one working in the plant except inside in the control room. haunting, deafening and standing next to those giant rotating kilns is quite possibly the hottest place i've ever been in my life.
the second piece is derived from the sound of cutting concrete with a slab saw, a job i had for a while. it's a deafening cacophony unless you're wearing ear muffs. even with them, the violence of the process is physically and aurally overwhelming (in a good way).
