Deaf To...

Deaf Too... is the title of a piece I will be exhibiting at Enslave Your Senses, an Art festival taking place in Bath next weekend.

Below is the text that will be accompanying the musical piece.

A note from the artist;

I live next to a busy road. There is the constant sound of passing traffic.

But early on a Sunday morning, before the rest of the world has woken up, I notice that I can hear the sound of birds singing outside, the gentle hum of the refrigerator, the trickle of water through the pipes below the sink, and the soft breathing of my sleeping partner.

I wanted to create a piece of music using some of these sounds that are so quiet, they are drowned out of our everyday lives.

I also wanted to use some sounds that we hear so constantly, we no longer notice their presence.

If we listen very closely to the world around us, the spaces we inhabit, we will hear a multitude of rich, intensely detailed sounds that we have either become too accustomed to, or are otherwise masked by the louder sounds around us.
