Engaging in collaborative writing is a transformative creative practice. Through co-writing and remixing each artist embarks on an intimate journey, forging close connections with one another and their respective works. This process involves deconstructing existing auditory and textual elements, then reassembling them into new renditions. The movement of air and emergence of beats signify new life unfolding.

Within this dynamic interplay, sound and meaning become partners in a dance between individual and collective contributions. The outcome is a co-created work that surpasses conventional artistic boundaries. This intricate relationship between reverence for original compositions and the assertion of personal artistry fosters a transformative dialogue.

Each generation of collaborators redefines and recontextualises the language of music, viewing it through their unique lens. The practice is immersive, highlighting the interconnectedness of artistic expression and demonstrating music’s ongoing evolution. As a universally resonant form of communication, music continues to inspire, encouraging collective discovery and introspection.

There is an intimate, intense and enmeshed sense of connection with tiny details (e.g., dust on vinyl, a door opening, heart beats, breathing, snoring). A respect for volume objects includes a fascination with amplification and the ability to magnify tiny sounds and bring the previously unheard into focus.
