Sampling like 65daysofstatic Noisiness, simple lyrics, sweet little melodies/themes like The Radio Dept Darkness, seriousness, stomping, spoken lyrics like Heartworms

Inspo
- Ask people that go to different places to record sounds. Collect a library of “donated” sounds. Lord of the Isles (Neil McDonald does that).
- Recurring building or fences by sticking microphones to them. ”… find a resonance, like it might be on a handrail for example, by sticking the contact mic onto it, which is only going to pick up vibrations, rather than moving air. You can either play the building or let the building be the lens through which you’re seeing the space.”
- In 2023, Matthew Herbert told Bandcamp Daily that, “The biggest revolution in my time is that music can be made out of anything. We are in a new period of musical history where you can use the sound of a football crowd, the victims of modern slavery on a Thai fishing trawler, or a brick to make music.”
