at the end of The Disappearing Computer, an event by The Minerva Festival (Cambridge), we had a small wordtupat session. Participants read out pieces of text they'd written in 2021, and Zoom's selective spotlighting function interweaved this into a sonic 'ketupat'.

once we played Thai music

Occam's Razor is the principle of favouring simplicity; here, experimented cutting,  interrogating, re-assembling language. 

The recording is taken straight from a concert and so has some concertgoing sounds. Credits go to Sylvia Plath for her poetry(specifically "Lady Lazarus")& my musicians Shiva Ramkumar, Anirvin Narayan, and Wong Yong En - who is not featured but who was a super important part of the realisation process.

miss-u-messiaen

leaving school feels carried through from 2017-18. pls don't expect lyrics to make sense.

School Song x2

it was the muteness of all our jagged silences, filled with reflection

an attempt to bridge drastic and gnostic creation methods; also my first time making something on/from/ with the harpsichord. i think my knowledge of this music lies more in my fingers, arms, and body than in my conscious mind - yay Abbate!

Disturb The Bread and Now It's Flat

We read the words we wrote in isolation, and our voices were selectively spotlighted by Zoom

these are the words we all have read (wordtupat 1/6/2020)

you never fail to disappoint me, 
disappoint me
you never fail to disappoint me

you love me but it's limited
you wouldn't go the extra mile -  
no you'd stay indoors
where there's aircon.

i love you but it's painful -
like a knife, it cuts very deep

you never fail to disappoint me

one day i'll learn not to need anything from you
so you can have your facial in peace

i won't even need you to need me
i won't need you at all
i won't even need you to need me
i won't need you at all

you never fail to disappoint me

Chasing a greater sensitivity to sound and colour
