Ephemeral Things by Sophie Standford

Ephemeral Things is an experimental collection of six compositions. Melody has been found within layers of recording and editing where my own vocals or instruments are interwoven with gathered field recordings which shift in and out of ‘beating’ dissonance while curious interjections and mumblings of the (in)audible pause time.

This is a landscape of introspection altering the sensation of time, exploring minimal shifts in pitch, inviting intent focus on the way each track unfolds. Intimate, quiet, slow and softly shimmering. The context is removed to immerse the listener in a place-less drift where there is a sense of entering into another world; holding the moment before it slips away.

Headphones or conventional speakers recommended for more detailed listening.

Noticing the minutiae, tracing encounters, where sights, sounds and smells of the real, the imagined and the remembered coalesce with the passing of time.

My practice is interdisciplinary layering digital and analogue processes through acts of quiet activism, listening, photography and unrehearsed performance within the parameters of a loosely defined framework which embraces the aleatory.
