Weighing Yesterday’s Rain




Weighing Yesterday’s Rain is an ongoing sound project that explores the use of rain and riverwater to create sonic compositions.




 

This soundscape is leaking, 
it’s flowing in and out and around and through. 
It’s dripping, overflowing. 
It's carrying, holding echoes of memories. 
It’s roaring, angry and violent, 
forced to be contained. 
It’s displaced.

These vessels hold collected rainwater from sites across Bournemouth and London.  This rainwater is activated through a sound performance, reverberating and echoing beyond the vessels 
continuously flowing and evolving in an exchange between the artist and the rainwater. 


Collaborations

Weighing Yesterdays Rain x Dialogues of Space

Collaboration with Xuân at Spring Cafe, Cockpit.
Particpants were encouraed to bring their own rainwater collected from their home, or water from their local stream if they had the means to collect it. 

We performed as a collective using a modified version John Zorn’s Cobra- a game where one person is selcted as a composer and given a list of symbols to direct the group. Each symbol donates a different action, like start playing, increase or decrease tempo, change your tone or stop playing.  
 
 








Soft Meanderings


Performance with Rosa Prosser 

Soft Meanderings explored the element of “water” through a live sonic weather performance encompassing the multitude forms for rain. Mixing sound and live visuals, a textured language of mixed-multi-media is developed, resonating the water in our body.
