wndfrm a contemplative artifice - an almost darkly whimsical journey into a virtual biome.. the piece has a thick presence, along with an implied narrative journey - i really love the spatial presence, it's all quite considered and immersive.

about

"the sounds begin to form previously unnoticed patterns, the rhythm and textures they create conjuring an unexpected sense of loneliness, excavating melancholia from spaces where only functionality is expected, the sampled rattle of infrastructure or the hubbub of Carr’s own office detritus." THE WIRE.

" The amazement is the convincing nature of the artificial recording. The chilling undercurrent is that one day, should species extinction continue at its current rate, this may be all we can hear." A CLOSER LISTEN

" If, then, you wish to think of this release as a quietly compelling ambient composition possessing solemnity and levity in equal measure, then you surely can." THE QUIETUS

------------------------

A foley forest of bird horns, frog rattles, bags of rice, bug clickers, bottles of water and squeaky toys awakens after a long dark evening.

I have spent a lot of time recording dawn choruses at many different field recording workshops. Never knowing what to do with all these recordings, I embarked on a quest to perform my own version of one in my studio. As such this work is an experiment in artifice, a forest I have breathed and gestured into existence via horns and whistles, rattles and squeaky toys.

This piece comes out of a series of live performances of dawn choruses I did in London as well as one in Vienna in 2022.
