This clip was recorded in an abandoned slaughterhouse. I got some very nice bass tones out of the scalding tank. I stretched a steel cable across the tank and stroked it with a violin bow. It sounded like a raunchy cello. I titled this clip "Screams from the Vat" to convey the suffering of the many animals who died there.

Due to lax enforcement of humane slaughter laws many pigs are submerged into scalding tanks before they are properly stunned and are left to drown in scalding hot water. Further information can be found in the book "Slaughterhouse" by Gail Eisnitz. Or the Humane Farming Association, http://www.hfa.org
