The finalised soundscape for Laurel Morgan in her up and coming art exhibition in DB8 Studios in December.

Imagine you’ve arrived in the Amazon rainforest to spend time within a tribe. The tribes people welcome you and invite you to take part in a shamanic ceremony.
You’ve just ingested a cup full of ayahuasca, a psychedelic drug made from tree bark.
The walls around you start to dissolve before your eyes, creating a blinding white light. You’re convinced you’re dying. As your fast pulse begins to drop you come to terms with your end. You stare into the light and allow it to pierce through you but find it stars to dim.
As the light lowers brightly coloured mountains begin to appear in the distance. You stand up and begin to explore your new environment. You’re wondering if you have died.
A colourful figure approaches you. You’re nervous but you’re not scared. It’s not animal but it’s not human, it’s neither male nor female. It calls out to you but you can’t understand what it says. It gets close to you, looks you in the eye and words it speaks change your life forever.
