"Climbing The Rope" is essentially an optimistic piece. Through it's own sheer bloody-mindedness it manages to drag itself from the harsh electronic atonality of ring-modulated drones and dissonant chords through a lonely transitional phase eventually ending in an almost traditional baroque cadence on acoustic string ensemble.
The piece was mainly recorded using violins (acoustic and electric) with the addition of an electric guitar, cello and processed samples of an actual rope pulley recorded in the museum of Rievaulx Abbey, North Yorkshire.
It was made specially for the EP "No Room" in aid of Crisis At Christmas 2012.
