Work Overview
Autism Spectrum Disorder affects children affects 1 in every 42
boys and 1 in 189 Australian girls. ASD affects how people
communicate and interact with others. It affects how they make
sense of the world. Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) therapy
helps children with autism develop their social, academic,
self-help and behavioural skills needed to interact with others
and to cope with the tests of life.
ddig Hapus (Angry Happy) was inspired by the observing
ABA therapy sessions with autistic children, watching the
struggle for clarity, the stereotypic, self-stimulatory behaviour
these children use, often unceasingly, to cope.
The principal idea presented here is a response to this
'stimming', frantic playful rhythms and constantly interrupted
ideas. The second section is a response to the plight of the
relationship between parent and autistic child, attempting to
reach their child and the fleeting moments of perceived
connection and painful distance.
The drastic contrast in registers and harmonic textures between
the horns and guitar allowed an expressive dialog of the thematic
material. This unique ensemble affords opportunity for new
harmonic consequences.
