Work Overview

I approached the idea to play solo clarinet inside St Mary's Basilica in Geelong with an intent of being open and receptive to the sacred space. I had participated in performances there and I felt embraced and surrounded by the echo-rich reverberation of the Basilica. The resonating stone and wood comforted me, massaging me with gentle waves of sound and vibration. On a still, cold night, the atmospheric sounds brought me closer to the building and its placement in the world-an edifice surrounded by a busy city. I felt safe and secure with the world rushing past the outer walls. Upon settling into a comfortable nook, I began intoning. My sounds were seeking permission to explore and reveal the hidden properties of the space. I listened and responded as if the space was another musician. I was guided through an improvisatory journey exploring the structure. Resonating tones, reverberations and gentle silence became my comfort and deepest, unconditional friend.
