Doledrums at Perth Festival
2022
2022
Doledrums is a surrealist world, sculpted using a baroque palette of
sounds. The project aims to examine the relationship between hauntology, love, loss, botany and meditation alongside the
ambiguities and contradictions of modern life.
The album navigates multiple narratives that evoke moments of calm and anxiety, almost simultaneously, through the use of loops, samples and a very rudimentary grasp on cello, clarinet and gregorian chant arrangements - created using sound libraries and emulators.

Extraction Exibition

Extraction Exibition
2021
Created in collaboration with Riley Salmon Lomas and Lia Tsemelis
Extraction was a group exhibition focused on the extractive industry in all of its forms (from mining and drilling to the reckless exploitation of water, soil, trees, marine life, and other natural resources). It is connected to a broader global project to expose and interrogate extraction’s negative social and environmental consequences, from the damage done to people, especially indigenous and disenfranchised communities, to ravaged landscapes and poisoned water to climate change and its many troubling implications.
A few words from Riley about the work:

A few words from Riley about the work:
In this work, a manipulated recording of conversations with geologist Richard Carson focus on the environmental issues surrounding the future of current methods of resource extraction and its limited ability to produce the necessary volume of minerals required to make a full transition to carbon neutral energy.
Sound panning is used to mimic ‘circling’- a stress response behaviour of mammals to sustained high and low frequency noise, and specific sub bass and tonal ranges are employed to both emulate frequencies from mine sites and generate distinct physical and emotional responses within the space.

City of Melville

Created in collaboration with Big hART and Perth Festival, and directed by Grammy-award-winning artist Lucky Oceans, Songs for Freedom offers heartfelt messages of freedom and hope from the Pilbara mob, in their own words.
The workshop involved taking a group of 10 indigenous students out to Point Walter to collect field recordings. The recordings were then incorporated into ambient compositions at the Willagee Library over the course of three days.
