'Catalogue of Human Vulnerability' plays with speech sampling to look back in time and critically examine views on mental illness and consumerism in the late 70s. Although the two featured documentaries are not linked in nature, 'Catalogue of Human Vulnerability' aims to highlight the innate parallels between human insecurity, consumer psychology, and the way we perceive mental illness. By looking to the past, we can see remnants of our present struggles, demonstrating the non-linearity of time and gaining insight into the human condition.

Catalogue of Human Vulnerability (ambisonic soundscape)

I wrote Amygdala while living in Paris ​in autumn 2015​. The piece is a kind of exploration of the way in which anxiety comes in waves, aways lapping at the edges, and sometimes rising and overwhelming us.
