Work Overview
This work has three source sounds recorded by the artist: a person rowing a small boat in the sea off the coast of Western Australia [recorded from inside the boat], a woman touching herself in front a heater in her home [recorded with a very close microphone], an unamplified bass guitar played with a motor [recorded with a microphone made from a subwoofer built into a drum shell, that recorded the vibrations of the instrument through the resonance of a table]. This mixture of the very personal in the urban setting, juxtaposed with the placement of humans in the bigger picture of nature is framed with a recording of motorised drone. The clarity and seemingly peaceful sound of the water - which was a rather rough sea at the time of recording - contrasts with the strange un-erotic sounds of a hand on flesh and fabric framed by the fan motor of a winter heater.
It can be listened to here.
