into the garden

This piece is based on The Garden, a piece I made after my mother passed away, using only recordings made in her garden as sources. Later, I made more recordings in the garden while my father too was ill. Now the garden for me is just a collection of memories, aided by photographs and these recordings. This new piece takes a different path through the recordings. The sounds to my ears are by turns aggressive, unsettling, soothing and beautiful – a journey with difficulties, struggles but with moments of beauty and moving towards a destination of peace.

dedicated to June and Mike Bennett.
