about

Six Hesit Heist is a collision of orchestra and electronic clicks, synths, kicks & field recording.

It evokes inner-city-scapes, a sense of adventure, and then a moment of escape above the city in the harp & violin middle section, which uses a field recording Gabriel made in Seoul, S. Korea (which is where the cover photo was taken).

In need of some energised, beat-driven music to lift his spirits during lock-down, Gabriel revisited an unused sketch from his recent (Ivor Award Nominated) ballet score Sense of Time.

It had a syncopated orchestral beat that fired up his inspiration, and within a few days it was a finished composition. Though it was impossible to record an orchestra due to lockdown, he had spent much of the year working with orchestral samples (when working on the score for a new Indian sci-fi series) so decided to go against classical norms and use whatever was available to realise the track. The end result is ‘post-covid orchestral’ beat (in six) married with scattering electronic gestures, doubled analogue synth arpeggios, and evocative found sounds.
