Campfire OST by Slow Clinic
In 2016 I collaborated with Yaron Shyldkrot to create original music for the theatre in the dark piece, 'Campfire'. The original recordings had been buried in an unsorted hard drive for a number of years with the intention of being released at some point. This was my first real attempt at creating music for a theatre performance and something I'm still very proud of today.
Description from yaronshy.com:
'Campfire' is a performance in the dark exploring possibilities for alternative social encounters. The performance is a result of practical and artistic research and moves between a sonic journey, a solo piece and a collective-participatory experience. 'Campfire' attempts to underline the communal and convivial and undermine the isolating quality of being wrapped in/by darkness, asking what does it mean to be together in the dark and how else might we interact with each other?
A work in Progress sharing of 'Campfire' was presented at "How To Do Things With...", The second annual Practice Research Symposium at the University of Surrey, July 2016.
