"I really wanted the misty bleakness of Northern England to come across," Firth says of his latest album Drownscapes. "It's an exploration of spacious areas, of descending into comforting madness, of being submerged under miles of water, surprised you are still able to breathe."
"I think almost every track has been used in my cartoons and videos somewhere," he says. "It isn't a soundtrack album, it's more of a best of the last 3 years of my atmospheric output."
"I incorporated a lot of field recordings that I made in my local surroundings," Firth continues. For example the track 'Pipeo' is based around recordings of a large water pipe that David climbed into with a selection of instruments. This recording technique has its pitfalls though: "I live on quite a noisy street so sometimes I just hang a mic out of the window and record the youths and drug dealers. I sometimes worry they'll see the mic and think I'm gathering evidence," he laughs.
