Nameless lust, faceless love, absurdist, 
An abbess today, a belated succubus
Under orthodox sunflower
Beam, queer night satellite.
Vulva’s voice all husky mumbling 
Things lucid and elusive, like:
I am not what I love, 
I am not orgasm or tongue,
Lest I am sunset,       
Else I am nothing at all
But the all-encompassing sensual, 
Delicate, celibate 
Sex in flux.

Natural light, fetal mannequin:
Womb’s heroin chic pageant queen.

You, lock-jawed lotus, withering
Stem, quivering 
Latex, healing—
Why unfurl here?
Why here you ripen, ripen, bend downwards and return to the depths?
Why drown here in the deep sweat of my palm?
I even dribbled a pool,
So what of my lick be poison,
Little Bondage Ophelia?

absurdist, belated - demo

Stuck at the Bottom

Utilising my own passion for choral vocalisation, textural harmonies and interest in the Fantasy genre, I wanted to create a piece that transported the listener into their imagination; taking them anywhere from an Elven realm, an enchanted hall under a mountain or an aviary nestled within the ruins of a cathedral. 

I wrote this track based on a dream I had of the latter, and visualised the scene when developing my soundscape. The opening sequence utilises foley I recorded around my family home (using a zoom recorder), including the birds, river, chime, door and footsteps. 

Combining these samples with carefully crafted reverb, dense textural harmonies and dynamic, fluid melodies, I built my own ethereal fantasy-ambient piece. 

I was inspired by Brian Eno’s “2/1- Remastered 2004,” from the album, ‘Ambient 1: Music For Airports (Remastered 2004), which I highly recommend checking out!

The unusual samples, timing and structure, combined with united vocal textures and my unconventional approach to ambient music, deliver a piece that hopefully conveys unbridled emotion, whilst retaining a sense of tranquility for the listener.
