In this session I presented my near complete spacialised work.

This time around I chose not to use live diffusion. Yet I felt that had I done so, I could have imbued a more performative feel to the piece, perhaps drawing the listeners attention even closer to the work. However I have to acknowledge that my intent for this piece is to create something relatively unintrusive; something that coexists with the space. Therefore, in introducing myself into the work as a performer I would be committing perhaps the most blatant form of intrusion into the space.

The feedback to my work was encouraging, phrases such as ‘meditative’ and ‘wide’ perfectly reflected my philosophy towards my process. It was also noted how the piece had a subtlety to its presence in the room – beyond anything this made me happy my vision was shared successfully.

I agreed with the feedback that just one more additional texture would complete the piece, something acoustic and sporadic to hold the listeners attention further – in the same way the acoustic guitars pop and scatter across the piece.

Fortunately, just the night before, I had thought about how the piece required a little something extra, and so I decided to bring a shaker egg into the session to record.
