Clara de Asís & Rebecca Lane "Distances Bending", live at Sonic Acts Biennial, Amsterdam 15 Feb. 2024.

As a duo, Clara de Asís and Rebecca Lane gather around the investigation of perceptual space, collaborative processes, and the development of pieces that are, more than settled compositions, elastic systems for ceaseless states of becoming. «Distances Bending» is their long-term project, which takes different forms in specific contexts and configurations in their exploration of harmonic and time proportions. Considering the most elemental aspects underlying the geometry of the harmonic series, one continuously rising sonic object (chord) undergoes a process of transformation and illumination as it travels from low to high, integrating a progressive complexification of frequency relationships.

Clara de Asís: synthesizer
Rebecca Lane: flutes, organ pipes, whistles

Thanks to Marc Hiatt and Michael Winter for the development of the algorithmic electronics.

2024.12.06 Rocky River Cove. Morning, with Ravens. Early Summer.

Recorded with a SASS on a cold winter night. Ice melting and falling from the trees in the background. This was recorded as part of a 3 week period of wolf observation and tracking, following their trails through the forest and snowfall, and after a while I understood their habitats and movements. This recording is made in the heart of their territory, where they regularly pass through.

Wolf Howling at Dusk - January 2025

Subdued; sparse; a slow, unhurried tempo; sometimes wind, sometimes calm; always, the low, far roar of the ocean shore; life, almost five years after unusually fierce bushfire. A quiet, simple, yet distinctive embroidery of small birds; a sweet descending scale in a Shrikethrush's song. Deep listening in a quiet place or moment: good for clearing, calming, relaxing, resting, healing, or even sleeping.
