Commissioned by the AHRC research project, INTO THE FOREST, led by Dr Eleanor Barraclough. 
Created for Light Up Trails and exhibited at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens

This unique project was the result of a creative partnership with the historian, author and BBC presenter, Dr Eleanor Barraclough. 
'Song Of The Pine' integrated the cycle of forest ecology with the fireside storytelling traditions of the Vikings and Anglo Saxons, as seen through the life cycle of a pine tree, the original Christmas tree.
Atmospheric and emotional, the piece drew on the audience’s own ancient and instinctive response to the primeval supremacy of ice and fire and aimed to reconnect them to the fullness of forest life.
Using a combination of specially written poetry by Karen, the piece fused modern technology in the form of specially designed foliage projection and a 5.1 surround sound system with traditional storytelling, creating a compelling work suitable for an all age 21st century audience.

‘Song Of The Pine’ was seen by 70,000 people and the piece was very well received, and was voted the ‘Audience’s Favourite’ by the visitors on the trail that year.

“Karen had clearly done extensive research into my work and used that foundation to craft a resonant, immersive experience. She composed a remarkable sound design that felt both ancient and vividly modern. Being recorded and directed by her as a narrator felt completely natural.” - Dr. Eleanor Barraclough

Song Of The Pine

Song Of The Pine ("It Sang" - excerpt)

Song Of The Pine (Gift Bringing/'The Angel Gabriel' - excerpt)

Downhill Slide is a song about a hangover's despair. Trying to clear your mind, but the anxiety sets in, grabs a hold and it feels like an existential dread. The song started out that way, and it also evolved into trying to remain positive, when everything around you seems to be trying to make you into something else.

My Noise Studies series aims to explore the different sonic possibilities of 5 different types of noise: pink, blue, white, brown, and green, creating various ambient profiles that are reminiscent of the element they represent. 

Verdant explores the identity of green noise and of the realm of nature. It evokes the layered life of the forest—the slow stretch of branches toward the light, the bright flicker of birds between canopies, and the quiet communion of countless leaves in shared growth.
