about

This is the second album of my 'Here' project, running from 32 days to 61 days.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, we all found ourselves restricted to a very small area. Whereas normally I would travel over 250 miles in a week, suddenly I remain within the same 50 square meters for the vast majority of my time. This is an audio record of that space.

Each day I have made a minute long recording in the same spot in my garden in Bristol. I have then layered each recording on top of the previous days, panning each day to a different point so as to mix the old days with the new.

The idea of layering came from the mole (mo-lay) sauce of chef Enrique Olvera. Each day, Olvera adds more ingredients to his mole sauce, gradually building more deep and complex flavours. Can I build a soundscape over the course of the year that is deep and rich but maintains clarity?

The recording for 260620 (42 days) is an excerpt taken from the album "4am" by Claire Hamlen, which can be found in our discography.

This album follows on from 'Here #1', which can be found in the discography.
