The name for this album symbolises the metaphor of sound waves & ocean waves.
Being inspired by the ocean, african drumming workshops, I began to learn the guitar incorporating it around my singing as played sample snippets of my guitar which was recorded, with added synths beats & basslines, staying true to our Nottingham city roots. Using a digimax camera & experimenting recording ideas & picking up background conversations, vocals were recorded as samples throughout on various tracks & time-stretched & backwards reversed. Vocals were also used from Bill Withers Ain’t no Sunshine & the film Hulk on the track ‘When She’s Gone’.
Also I arranged my Digital Artwork images through Arkaos VJ software which was then played/triggered recorded in time to the music, it was saved onto a DVD & played using a laptop, creating projected images for an juxtaposition of both music & audio visual experience.The tracks ‘Voice’ & ‘Tryangle’ were performed at The Visionary Art of Sound community centre with fantastic feedback.
