My recent blogs have been quite meandering so I thought I’d collect and link a few things together:
My attraction to soundscapes, Chantel Akerman’s D’Est, agoraphobia, travelling through soundscapes, KLF’s Chill Out, Boards of Canada style plundering of a disconnected soundscape.
I’m not a well-travelled person and I’m often a bit of a recluse.
However I do try to read. Practical versus theory.
Below I uploaded something I made in 2020. I created it during a period of personal isolation, I often wouldn’t leave the house for weeks at a time (apart from walking the dog at midnight) and it probably reflects this – Looking through the crack of curtains at night into pure darkness.
It was made through sampling my favourite moments of D’Est, and was inspired by my listening to a lot of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Grouper, William Basinski and Tim Hecker.
