ON THE WIND

fixed media.

On the Wind originated as a piece I wrote for men’s chorus which I have adapted into a fixed media work. Each part (TTBB) was recorded by individual singers, and all sounds included in the piece are derived from these recordings. On the Wind is inspired by the literal sound of wind, as it is heard rushing past our ears or faintly from within indoor spaces. It is also inspired by the things we come to know that are not immediately seen or understood - feelings of rising change, utterances of hope and resilience in a time of struggle, whispers of the things we wish we could see.
