Sentient City

Michael Reilly Light and shadows: the city vividly represented as an atmospheric instrumental soundscape. The electronic arrangements here suggest the ongoing conflict of our urban spaces, which is particularly relevant as we are now forgetting the meaning of community in our mad rush to embrace technology and maximise profits. Favorite track: First Light.

about

Explore the life of the city. Its vibrant and dynamic sense of activity – people move at ever-increasing speed against the backdrop of its structure and stability. A fast pace and steady rhythms take us through the scenes of a life that is familiar to anyone who knows the city’s world.

But we also face the experience of what lies beneath the comfortable surface – more menacing motifs suggest the dark subcultural existence which poses a threat to our comfort and security. And the forces of command and control, developed through themes of authority and power, are ever present. Those who run the city are watching us too.

All this is resolved as we realise the city has a life of its own – possibly even something that we humble citizens can only glimpse, and never fully understand.
