On the 17th February 2026, I was introduced to dancer Violet Savage.

“Violet Savage is a dancer from London. Their work explores movement at the intersection of sonic and visual art, drawing from improvisation to make space for the subconscious to perform. They are interested in visibility and how much we show of ourselves when we dance.”

While the encounter was brief, Violet shared her interest in my work as ‘monosleep’ in which I perform and record ambient electro-acoustic music, enquiring if I would be interested in collaborating on an upcoming project of hers.

While still in its very early conceptual stages, I was told that the project would be a dance piece revolving around the use of contact microphones, and the sound of a skipping rope striking the floor. I was immediately intrigued and agreed to exchange our contacts.

Later in that day, once at my home, I began to consider the potentiality of this project. Dance was an area of performance I had relatively little knowledge or experience with. In fact, motion or even ideas of performance are not something I particular consider in my own practice. Yet, within this uncertainty (I couldn’t even really picture what this would look like) I found an immense source of inspiration and curiosity.

It became apparent to me that this collaboration would provide, or rather, force myself to expand my practice beyond the kind of sonic palette I have become associated with.
