The entire EP was recorded at Slow Dance HQ in London Fields, between the 25th & 29th February 2020 - the studio rules were as follows: 1. Musicians may only bring things that modify sound, not make sound themselves. 2. Vocals are allowed, but any lyrics must be written in the studio time. 3. The tracks must only use noise sampled from the sculptures and the voice. 4. The tracks must be completed within each respective six hour session.
