Sounds of a Crematorium
«A few years ago I recorded in a crematorium. Bodies are put inside a cremulator that slowly grinds bone fragments into fine powder. It’s the worst sound I’ve heard in my entire life. When I mixed the recording into a track to create a dark sound, I realized that this is not right. If someone close to me had died and a musician remixed it without asking permission, I wouldn’t be very pleased.»
