Another Lullay  - for trio

"Somewhere I Have Never Travelled" for String Orchestra

The isolated vocal track of "Helter Skelter" (The Beatles, 1968) was reversed and given to the vocalist Zami Mdingi to sing as such, and broadcast from a circular, hyper-directional speaker, backlit, and visually echoing an eclipse. This is only an extract of the full installation piece.

White Room

String Quartet No. 7: Personal Graffiti

The darkened chamber sounds; 
an articulation of the invisible,
that which which lies beneath
of understandings unspoken;
a sonic syntax 

We listen to voice-bodies here and unseen
gradually exposing a polyphony of worlds
not a projection
but a tuning in 

A voice reaches past her mouth, her arms
a ghostly thing, dream-like
a blind internal notion moving outward 
like nets cast out into the complete night
alone
until echoes of an un/familiar intonation 

A question perhaps
which way is which
