a recording made some time ago on the phone while I was getting acquainted with the little hank drum I just bought. it's not the best as a base resolution, but I have processed the sound to make it as clean as possible ... in this track the whole sequence is intermittently and simultaneously played at multiple speeds. it is very relaxing .. in the past I had already touched upon certain atmospheres that this magical instrument can create, but in this case I have reached further depth. with this new way of treating the sound I am sure there will be other pleasant discoveries.

Ambergris
Ambergris is a 30 minute live performance based upon a 3-minute composition commissioned for the exhibition Apologue Isle, shown at Contemporary Art Tasmania in October and November 2024. The performance combined an extrapolated version of the original composition ( built from field recordings) with improvised bass guitar. Big Thanks to Andy Hutson for commissioning my piece and for creating Apologue Isle

Apologue Isle
An apologue is a moral fable, often using animals or non-human entities as the primary drivers of narrative.  The ‘apple isle’ was a nickname given to lutruwita/Tasmania to highlight the importance of the state’s apple export industry; with the first apple trees being planted by colonist William Bligh in 1788. These trees mark the beginning of industrial agriculture and extractive industry, and their subsequent impacts on the landscape and original inhabitants of lutruwita.   From these converging starting points, Apologue Isle aims to reframe the human perspective and create new stories that propose a world inhabited not by humans battling nature, but a complex, entwined system of objects, beings and space.  After many conceptual iterations, the project eventually began as an invitation. Five writers were asked to create a new story, with two simple requirements: it must refer to the natural world, and at least one character must be non-human. These stories were then transformed into sets, puppets were built, music composed and narration recorded.     The project unfolded like a surrealist exquisite corpse, each person building on the work of the one before, whilst retaining creative control over their own work. This aimed to enhance a sense of trust between collaborators through the giving over of ownership and acceptance of the other’s intent. 
The result is five unique stories, told through an unexpected array of characters, that reflect on what it means to live in our world at this moment in history. And alongside these stories is a burgeoning community of creative individuals, brought together through the shared ideas and ethics of the project.

Apologue Isle - Ambergris (Live Snippet)

“Fragmented resonance from fire — slowly surfacing through blurred space.”

Acousmatic Fragment Practice #002
A 44-second exercise in drawing a sound object out of a blurred sound field, using fire as the source.
Though my focus was mainly on the sound, I also took some time to explore light visual processing.

Acousmatic Fragment Practice #002
一段 44 秒的聲音練習，嘗試從模糊的聲場中顯影出一個聲音物件，素材取自火焰聲。
雖然主要專注於聲音設計，但在時間允許的狀況下，也稍微嘗試了簡單的影像處理。

I love listening to music. I love making music 

I love technology, but only as a means to an end when it comes to music making. 

I'm after music that has life not music that is perfectly constructed
