Aberdeen fish market ferry, Hong Kong, reimagined by Keith de Mendonca.
"I visited the fish market in Hong Kong many years ago and so I had some small connection with the place and the sound recording - grinding sounds of ice-cutting machines, noises of machinery and wet fish containers echoing about a large hall.
"Some of these clanging noises were used to create the rhythm of this piece.
"A music box given to me as a Christmas present became another sound source - its sad tones suggested a piece of music about loss.
"I can't quite explain how I ended up listening to an archive radio broadcast from Albania's Radio Tirana... but the portentous message provided the theme and a voice to finally bind the piece together. Enver Hoxha's passing resulted in the opening up of Albania; Hong Kong's political tectonic plates are now also changing fast - moving the island in the opposite direction towards the mainland's political system."
