Tracks 13-19 were created as a speculative soundtrack outline for a documentary film project a friend of mine was planning to make back in 2007 about her old car, a Plymouth Valiant, which she had lived in for a time and which was about to be delivered to the junkyard. I never saw any of the film footage, but she asked me to put together some audio material for it so I recorded every possible sound I could extract from the interior, exterior and vicinity of the car and assembled these seven tracks. As far as I am aware, the film has never been completed. I don’t know what title was intended for the project: I’ve chosen ‘Valiant Vagrant’ as a reference both to the car and to my attempt to make a soundtrack for a film I’d never seen.
