It starts with a beautiful day in the sea full of souls , and it will be forever.

Things I want to tell you about............ : 

the sun’s rays ~ my teacher ~ things that are woolly to touch ~ body organs ~ and elastic forms,

....all happening in the world with nowhere else to go. ❤

Happy Angels Revisited (2018) is my audio adaptation of the children’s book Very Happy Angel Visit (2016) by artists Hela Trol Pis (Max Trevor Thomas-Edmond) and Hulugold (Chris Peckham). Released through Hela’s publishing project 5everdankly, Very Happy Angel Visit combines Hela × Hulu’s experimental writing and drawing practices to produce magical milk-glass pictograms through the story of a shape-shifting angel and her friends. In this gentle reading-recording, Happy Angels Revisited considers the sonicity of body/-language through some of the book’s key themes on desire, religion, holograms, fuzziness, and friendships.

Happy Angels Revisited is about slow and self-reflexive discharge. Through oral storytelling that moves between modes of address, it is about identifying (without over-exerting), what happens in the body, and……………………… slowly, gently, leaking, expelling. I can't quite commit to a name regarding form, but maybe the closest is something between a bedtime/wake-up time story or a guided meditation; a type of relaxation therapy to facilitate the practice of breath and detachment from thought-induced congestion; easing the movement of worlds towards more renewable and sustainable flows of energy.

Do you know how important rest is?

even the biggest angel needs a nap

You are the angel, but also the world, which goes in every time you breathe.

Three generations of women eat lunch together. The producer (Lu Lin) was recording her family for a radio documentary and when they took a break to eat, forgot to turn the audio recorder off, culminating in a soundscape of chewing, clanking, slurping, rustling, phatic communication, and other sounds of everyday life. Radio documentary practices relegate this atmospheric material to ‘background noise’, and sounds of slurping and chewing are often tied to table manners and cultural etiquette: excessive and jarring in Western contexts, but normalised in Chinese ones. Inverting these conventions, the producer chose to foreground and accentuate these sounds with echoes, reverbs, and other sound effects, essentially repurposing this ‘surplus’ material into something generative, primal, and musical. This sound work shows how representing and (re)producing matrilineal transmission is beyond a technological process: whereby eating, as an act of sustaining and reproducing one’s own body, also exists in the material process of radio production – even when processes of radio production are suspended, paused.
