instruments/sonority

• african instruments: kora, talking drum
• celtic instruments: hurdy-gurdy, uilleann pipes, bodhran, fiddle, whistle, accordion
• electronic dance music instruments: male and female vocals, synthesisers (including string pad, soft pad, bass, bells), breath samples, drum machine, electric piano, shaker and tambourine
• the piece is made from looping ideas (a common dance music technique)
• some of the playing techniques include glissando (a continuous slide of notes), open and closed hi-hat
• there is a reverb effect on the vocals through the whole track
• the synthesizer drone uses a filter (which automatically adjusts the EQ giving a 'sweeping' sound)
