“I’ve been enjoying zooming in on fragments of William Byrd’s music, dissecting the counterpoint and playing around with melodies and cadences.

In ‘Amen, amen, amen…’ I took the end of a piece he wrote for Queen Elizabeth I and built it up layer by layer, from the bass part upwards, to show the listener how they all fit together to create a beautiful whole. I slowed the voices down, lowering the pitch and stretching them out as they repeat again and again, dissolving into nothingness.

When I was a music student my friends and I used to joke about making album out of our favourite choral ‘Amen’s. We all agreed this would be Side A, Track 1.” — Kieran Brunt
