Journey I

Porous

this short extract, called Porous, is taken from an Etude called Cosmosis and is a conversation of sounds and images, of struck stones and flowing water, creating an atmosphere of porous openness to the sounds and images of nature and making a playful space for your associations, imagination and creativity…………when you have looked and listened to this you might find interesting this podcast by Tom Service on Deep Listening which covers the work of Pauline Oliveros.

If you found Porous interesting you might like to listen to the full version called Cosmosis on the Current Projects page.

Rain Race

Rain falls on a glass surface. The drops coalescing into rivulets. They fly by gravity and wind as if squeaking over the surface, herding together, changing direction as a group. What causes them to do the same thing? They fall and run somehow purposefully and urgently, yet going nowhere but into puddles, drains and evaporation. On a window pane rain inscribes its patterns. We see, we see through. Patterns, movement, in light reflected on glass. Waiiting for a coffee at the V&A.

Lines

I stand in the field of silence excluded from the conversations flying down the overhead wires, they vibrate and shimmer with talk and chat. The birds alight to listen, but discover the plinking tunes that play as they jump from one stave to another. The sun comes up on the brown water and a bright blue day emerges, birds play and feel the vibrant conversations beneath their talons, holding on tight balancing on the sounds. We see more lines of flight, aircraft in formation making lines across the sky. When was the first straight line invented, discovered? We like them. their ordered connectivity directionality, and enclosure. Point-line-plane…rhythm-melody-harmony……Atmosphere.
