A Memory Hole

21/06/25 20:02 Filed under: New Music

I called this piece ‘A Memory Hole’ because I feel like I completely zoned out and went to some other mindspace while working on it.

The loop came from the piano part of ‘Open Again Eventually’ (from 2020’s Bird Rib) and I used SLATE+ASH's Cycles software to make it performative and malleable. From there all I remember is a dreamy blur of sound unspooling, running forwards and backwards… I must have I sat there staring out the window listening to these loops for hours and hours. Through the swirl of notes I felt like I could hear melodies and harmonic footings suggesting themselves, so I picked those out with some gentle overdubs.

This is part of Perceptions, Vol. 6, from Bigo & Twigetti- the full compilation drops July 4.

Elizabeth Price's 'Here We Are' at the Liverpool Biennial

Tonight the Liverpool Biennial opens, and I've been working with Turner prize-winning artist Elizabeth Price on her new film Here We Are for the past 9 months. It's running at the Black-E venue, 1 Great George St - if anyone is in town, you should check it out!

And I'm extra pleased to see Jonathan Jones at The Guardian declare the piece "best of the Biennial"!
