about the cd

Bodies explores the similarities between bodies of water and human bodies, seeking to blur the boundaries between them. These works incorporate the sounds of water recorded during trips to the Australian coastline, as well as creeks and waterfalls in Far North Queensland. I have taken these recordings, along with recordings of my voice and breath, and heavily processed them together with synths and electronics, blurring the lines between field recordings, vocals, and electronic elements. Together, these sounds create sonic collages that emulate rhythmic cycles found in both water and humans, such as waves, pulses, and currents.

When I listen back to these pieces, I often imagine floating on my back with my ears half submerged in the water, being pulled back and forth by currents and tides, experiencing a sense of vulnerability and release.
