Adrift (with Olivia Kissper)

Adrift is a headphone work created for Phyllda Barlow’s docks installation at Tate Britain and commissioned by Tate Early Years and Families. I worked with ASMR filmmaker Olivia Kissper to create a soundscape made from the materials used in Barlow’s epic sculptures – gaffer tape, corrugated cardboard, plastic bags. We created a short abstract text and performed the work live to a binaural microphone. The piece plays with scale, with the listener hearing a very intimate sound-world of taps, scrapes and drags, whilst looking up and far at Barlow’s mammoth creations as they walk through the Duveens gallery at Tate Britain.
