I'm a musician - guitar, bass, harp, flute : I play with two bands, teach and lead workshops. What leads me on is engagement - the power of sound, and participation. So many ways to participate!

Site specific music, and music for mscape, really fires my imagination.
It was a journey in itself, finding the right way to record what I wanted to create for the e-merge walks. Firstly, I'm a country lass - so how to find a way in to an ordered urban landscape? History is a trigger - but the history of this small piece of place is layer upon layer upon layer. Dense and tangled.
I came to simple, single, visual things - three pieces which I've called trees, water, paths.
It seemed important to break with linear experience. I anticipate the end user to be swept up, inspired, locked in.
I chose to break from what would be the usual process of a constant rhythm (easier said than done) and mirror the experience of becoming engaged - stop : look : listen : turn around : wait awhile. Look up, look down. Reflect.
Maybe it's a city thing, the chance to be alone in proximity to others.
