about

This piece was constructed for the end of an early morning podcast I put together for Bright Patterns on the Lot radio in May 2023.

My approach to sound and music is interwoven with the practice of art, and it becomes about trying my best, in small ways each day, to be mindful of what I listen to, in order that I might create a condition to call-in inspiration. The mix I made just prior to this piece moves through the works of others that I feel kinship with, and some which make me wriggle - voices and synthesizers into piano works. Some beautiful and some really difficult pieces.

Then at the end of the mix, I found myself beginning to make a construction out of recordings from my own library - a live set I made for Vicki’s birthday, voice memos, some recordings I have of my late father playing the piano, synth noodlings I’ve made but haven’t found a place for, field recordings from job sites where I’ve worked. It turned into an exercise of sketching through my own archive. In hindsight this calling-in is precisely what was happening when I had the instinct to start putting pieces together after listening to a selection of others' work, so I decided to include this experiment inside the end of that mix.

The full podcast is available on the Lot Radio, and Soundcloud.
