....In the darkened studio, its shifting layers made a shapely and animating effect....

Nottingham Evening Post

From Steel to Stone was created in the electronic studios of Nottingham University in 1987. The sound sources are exclusively analogue: derived from cassette deck and mixing desk feedback loops (a technique that later became known as no input mixing), processed via reverb units, graphic equalisers, reel-to-reel speed change and reverse.

In 2021, the 1-inch 8-track master tape was professionally transferred to eight separate WAV stems (at 24-bit 48Khz), allowing the piece to be more precisely edited, mixed and remastered, while remaining faithful to the original.

Please note that this work begins with a very low frequency drone, but becomes much louder in due course.
