about

‘A Memory, Blown Out’ explores the vaporous world of shifting memories. I recorded a vocal track nearly ten years ago when I was living in Seattle that has always stuck with me, yet never really found its place. I re-visited the track more recently and manipulated it, playing around with octaves and pitch, making it hazy and fluid, like a dream you couldn’t quite pin down. ‘A Memory, Blown Out’ was born and exists as an altered version of memories from ten years ago.

The tracks ‘Love Me, Liar’ and ‘Higher’ are rooted in the machine world. I became fascinated by the many different machine sounds I was encountering every day. I started focusing on them, seeking them out and recording them. They are sounds of trucks reversing, industrial air conditioners, building sites and cranes installing artwork. When I had a library of sounds, I went through and found that by manipulating some of them, including by slowing them down, decreasing some frequencies and increasing others, I could hear words and melodies emerging. It is these words and melodies that guided me and formed the basis of ‘Love Me Liar’ and ‘Higher’.
