live space, traditional clubs music venues, breeds a ritualistic experience for the performer/audience
solid of revolution – polyrhythmic + melodic growth whilst remaining ambiguous
the quadrophic melody creates melody with physical space .
Tribute to whistle- a sombre tribute to nature within urban decay and man made structure. Creates a world an artificial forest almost with speaker positioning.
I’m noticing a common theme in her work which is to create physical spaces with surround speakers.
Her space is static, each piece is one thing.
Images are limiting, gives direction to the sound interpretation that are always not accurate or needed.
Work comes from experiments & accidents.
I like the way Jessica presented her work to us, to me her work is something of an extension to the human physical experience, this is because her purpose in her work is to create a human tangible world within her art. I think this is poignant to me especially, as coming from a background in Jazz and Hip-Hop our way of thinking and our way of creating music and sound is to create almost a mirror of our reality, however beautiful or stark this may be, I like Jessicas work as I think subconsciously that is her thought process.
This thought processes reminds me of one of the earliest songs I made with my friend. This song sonically and lyrically reflects the starkness of growing up poor in inner city London, reflected by the murky yet dreamy sounds and heavy bass. I was 16 at the time of making this and I think that made the song and production even realer to me as looked at life with an innocent hopeful gaze, but couldn’t help feel for the struggle and strife I was growing up around.
