Descent is a selection of works spanning over 20 years. Consisting of five tracks covering a diversity of approaches and styles which reflects Prior's background in the acousmatic tradition that emerged in the UK from musique concrète. For Prior, sound is something encountered from a position of reverence and a recognition that the meanings of sounds derive from the sources that create them.

David Prior is a musician by background although throughout his career, his work has spanned music, photography, film, writing and installation. For over a decade, he has collaborated with Frances Crow in Liminal a studio that has explored the relationship between sound, space and listening.
