Weird Bight - Graanstruum

Ctrl C - Excerpt

A series of dreams … Awake? Or still dreaming?  

The sensations of falling, walking, moving vehicles, flowing water … what does this symbolise in our dreams? What images and thoughts does this evoke as we meander through the conscious-unconscious states of our minds? Awake? Or still dreaming?  

This work surges between field recordings and close microphone recordings; blurring and shifting between abstract and real sound worlds. The textures highlight the complexity of these states, warping and distorting to provide an insight into our deepest selves.
