Its nine tracks blur the lines between ambient electronica and sonic history, as synthesised melodies and rhythms reverberate through the extreme acoustics of the disused Cupar Grain Silo in Scotland. Built in 1964 as a sugar store, the silo towers 60 metres above the surrounding Fife countryside. Its industrial life was short: in 1971 it was closed, and barring a short period as a grain store, remained empty for decades.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn 2014, Sam Annand was given access to the silo as part of the Resono project, set up to study a series of highly reverberant locations across Scotland. The ambitious industrial architecture of the Cupar Grain Silo has given the space a reverberation time of 36.5 seconds. This measurement describes the time a sound takes to decay or ‘fade away’ in a closed space. To put this in perspective, the Cupar Grain Silo reverb time is around three times longer than that in cathedrals like York Minster and St Paul’s.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The acoustics are immediately noticeable when climbing the ladder into the main chamber”, Sam says. “The sound of your voice begins to circle around and above you, inviting you to shout, clap and bang objects to excite the space into revealing its intimidating\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e architectural voice.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSam began to experiment with musical compositions which responded to the unique acoustics of the silo space. He used impulse responses – a short, sharp sound like a gunshot – to record these acoustics, allowing him to experiment with the silo’s reverb in his production. Sam’s compositions were performed using a modular synth system, a Roland Juno-6 polyphonic synthesizer and a bowed ride cymbal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Chords can be constructed in time by hanging successive single notes in the air,” Sam describes, “The flutter echoes from the immediate cylindrical walls can be used to create bursts of scattering spatial imagery and harmonic blooms, following short percussive moments.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally recorded on 21st May 2016, 'Cupar Grain Silo' is now released on 12” vinyl with an accompanying booklet of imagery and essays. The compositions are at once true to the unique architectural acoustics of the silo whilst also being playful and experimental with the creative possibilities it offered.

Its nine tracks blur the lines between ambient electronica and sonic history, as synthesised melodies and rhythms reverberate through the extreme acoustics of the disused Cupar Grain Silo in Scotland. Built in 1964 as a sugar store, the silo towers 60 metres above the surrounding Fife countryside. Its industrial life was short: in 1971 it was closed, and barring a short period as a grain store, remained empty for decades.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn 2014, Sam Annand was given access to the silo as part of the Resono project, set up to study a series of highly reverberant locations across Scotland. The ambitious industrial architecture of the Cupar Grain Silo has given the space a reverberation time of 36.5 seconds. This measurement describes the time a sound takes to decay or ‘fade away’ in a closed space. To put this in perspective, the Cupar Grain Silo reverb time is around three times longer than that in cathedrals like York Minster and St Paul’s.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The acoustics are immediately noticeable when climbing the ladder into the main chamber”, Sam says. “The sound of your voice begins to circle around and above you, inviting you to shout, clap and bang objects to excite the space into revealing its intimidating\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e architectural voice.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSam began to experiment with musical compositions which responded to the unique acoustics of the silo space. He used impulse responses – a short, sharp sound like a gunshot – to record these acoustics, allowing him to experiment with the silo’s reverb in his production. Sam’s compositions were performed using a modular synth system, a Roland Juno-6 polyphonic synthesizer and a bowed ride cymbal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Chords can be constructed in time by hanging successive single notes in the air,” Sam describes, “The flutter echoes from the immediate cylindrical walls can be used to create bursts of scattering spatial imagery and harmonic blooms, following short percussive moments.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally recorded on 21st May 2016, 'Cupar Grain Silo' is now released on 12” vinyl with an accompanying booklet of imagery and essays.
