Bargoed Y Mynydd (Bargoed Mountain)

Z-Aerial Maneuvers

August 2025 Currently on residency in Italy !
These are the 2nd batch of 3 short sketches using field recordings captured around Montegiovi, Tuscany. With these little works I am experimenting freely with what can be produced from each days sounds - manipulating them and stitching them back together with the aim of producing a long format work at the end of the residency. I have done a dozen or so since arriving a fortnight ago but not sharing them all (some are pretty rubbish). The idea is to have them done by the end of the day (or night) then move on to something fresh the next day. 
I am truly thankful for this opportunity that has been provided for me by the Salamanca Arts Centre in Tasmania and Cultivate Projects/La Baldi residency in Italy and The USA.
And of course the wonderful people of Montegiovi !

Hideri (dry spell)

日照り
日傘を差し
ぬるい風をよける
砂がとんで靴がよごれる
蜥蜴の背かわいている
草の葉もしおれている
雨はいつ？

日照り
塩を舐める
日差しは唸る
溶ける時計
旗は重く垂れて
蜂に追われ
檳榔子の銃弾で撃つ

日照り
虎が溶ける
石に絡まる

日照り
影は黒い橄欖の枝
笛が鳴る噴きこぼれる
竈の焚口から火の舌


The dry spell continues.
Sand blows in the wind, dirtying my shoes.
The dry back of a lizard.
Withered blades of grass.
When will it rain?
The dry spell continues. 
I lick salt.
The sun howls.
A clock melts.
A flag hangs heavy.
Bees are chasing me.
I shoot them with betel nut bullets.
The dry spell continues. 
A tiger melts and flows over large stones.
The dry spell continues.
Dark shadows of branches of a Canarium album.
A flute sounds. The world boilds. 
Tongues of fire poke out from a stove.
