Talismans

Inhabiting our serenity places; sounding out to each other and to the world; imprinting our thoughts and feelings on stones and other objects  

                        What do we say to ourselves when travelling to those places?
                        How do we physicalising these feelings of nurture, comfort and serenity?
                        Which objects are we bringing or finding in those places?
                        How do we decorate those places?
                        How do all these places sound and vibrate together?
                        How do we imprint our thoughts and feelings on an object?                

This piece consists of field recordings, fragments of group improvisations, conversations and poems pieced together with a short film of a place of serenity, as an attempt to sound out to each other and share with the world a collective talisman.

This piece consists of recordings of Mama S’s bell playing, accompanied by her mini, layered over with a version of a vocal piece inspired by a Meredith Monk score. For us, this piece was about sounding out, finding resonance and a sense of connection to sound and to each other.
