The Sound Loop Diaries
I am here.
Backbone. Heartbeat.
Something to keep me steady.
A rhythm for my feet.
My voice colored by the life I’ve lived.
Shaped with words,
sunlit seas, full moons,
and other bits of brightness.
But then there are deadlines.
Expectations. And other unwanted things.
Chaotic. Heavy.
Noise.
Noise.
Noise.
Where is my voice? Where is my heart?
Where am I?

Artist Statement
The process of creating music is a balance, an intuitive craft to determine what enhances, what subtracts, and what track or instrument causes the piece to disintegrate into noise. By looping sounds over one another, I wanted to show how this process mirrors our lives and the harmonies we strive to keep, the anxieties that creep in, the overwhelm that can quickly build, and also, the relief that a moment of stillness can bring.
