Snapped Match

A series of personal questions addressed to the Folgefonna glacier

FatCat Records - Slack City - September 2025

#SaiyaaraReprise x #StuckOnYou - (Rita Morar #dnb cover) 

When I realised both of these songs could go together I wanted to go the extra mile to put some liquid Dnb beat to it and mash up the sounds of both songs… Enjoy for the love of music and emotion. 💜🙏🏽

Saiyaara x Stuck On You (Rita Morar DnB Cover)

A recorded voice addresses questions to a silver Denarius minted in Rome in 70AD. In this ongoing series, the artist literally poses a series of questions to select inanimate objects as if they were sentient beings able to respond. The installation takes the form of the display of the particular object, e.g. an antique Roman coin, and an audio speaker installed above where the audience would ideally be situated in relation to the object on exhibition. The audio speaker broadcasts the series of questions addressed to the object. Time is given between each question for the object to reply, and for the audience to consider their own responses to the questions and the situation.

Started in 2016, this artwork proposes that each object is more than the sum of its parts and what it represents, and that each object would have had its own, unique set of experiences. The form of address seeks to honour the object and create a space for it to speak in its own way. The questions - and the audience’s projected answers - furthermore serve to reconsider and complicate the object, transforming the standard conditions of display, and opening up new interpretations and parallel histories and possibilities.

For this edition, the artist used PayPal to purchase a two millennia old silver Denarius coin from eBay. It is plausible to think that this coin, minted in the year 70AD, would have been used for all manner of transactions; from buying bread to being used as a bribe, and being part of the empire’s taxation and usury systems.

The questions were written specifically for this coin, translated into French by Julie Azémar, Bénédicte Delay, Boris Atrux-Tallau, and Line Ajan, and recorded bilingually by Sylvaine Strike. Recording was done by Kyle Leith and Dave Langemann.

"MORE" is a song about being obsessive, retroactively (and actively) jealous, and overly intense in relationships ... I think we all have these feelings within us but rather than let them manifest for real in my relationship I channeled them into this song. I hope you enjoy it very much, especially all my Scorpios out there, this one is for you 🦂
