Hey everyone.
Its Jan 04, 2023 and I'm reflecting on some things.
My work as a composer/songwriter is often ephemeral. I work intensely on projects and they go into the world and do their thing and then disappear into the ether. This year, I want to share a lot more of these compositions and musical fingerprints before they are erased in the sand. Here goes..
SLEEP RIVER
In July 2022 I created an ambient surround sound bath for Bristol Harbor festival - Sleep River.
I collaborated with musician Amber-Ruth Watson and a group of young people from The West of England Centre for Inclusive Living (WECIL). I wanted to capture the quality of our sessions together, their warm, chaotic, bustling world, refracted into a dreamlike sound design.
The piece employs chance, elements gradually enter and exit the sound field at random, creating an ever changing sound installation that never fully repeats. (Any Ableton/music tech nerds out there can DM me about my approach)
The work was installed into a space right in the thoroughfare of the festival, the explorers who found us were given this soothing gift where they could just sit and be, away from the wild mayhem of the outside world.
Here is a condensed version, capturing the essence of the endless dreamscape of the full work. A 40 minute version will also be available soon. I recommend listening to it with a cup of tea and a biscuit, or maybe just before you go to sleep...
