'Burn the Witch'. Safehouse 1. Peckham. 01/10/19

This immersive installation was intended for a single audience member to sit in the chair and listen to music panning between speakers at either side of their head. 

​

The soundpiece was created after meeting with female musicians to record their warm up and rehearsal processes. These separate recordings were then combined to create a track exposing the musicality in a musician's practise and warm up routines, suggesting these have the potential to hold as much beauty and fluidity as the finished 'performance' or work itself.

​

This work was made in response to the invitation to exhibit in 'Burn the Witch', an all female exhibition, celebrating work exploring 'femininity' and the 'female form'. 

​

Recordings include a vocalist, violin and my own traditional Irish flute.
