"Porta Pak 2 is a dreamy mixture of soundscapes with skewed electronic drones and chilled beats. It features the mesmerizing sounds of the Sony Porta Pak camera fan. I was fascinated by the layered tones the fan made as it changed speed. The original recording plays throughout the track, but I overlaid digitally manipulated sections of the source sound to create sonic crosscurrents and add extra colour to the piece."
