about

Coffin Walk was recorded on a path in Warwickshire that was used to carry the dead from remote villages to Stretton-on-Dunsmore to be buried. Almost all the sounds here are made using contact mics on the wire fences that follow the route. There are also sounds of mud. The lyrics are from ‘I’m a Little Orphan Girl’ which is a playground song but also features in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. I don’t know which came first.
