#ray fenwick

Okay i am listening to this song again. Anyone feeling down should listen (i think), and then they will feel better. So I share it here right now.

This song has a gentle and warm melody, like a fluffy blanket🥰 (i need it now it's getting colder)

AND I SELDOM HEAR GRAHAM BONNET USE THAT KIND OF VOICE TO SING ITS MUCH TOO GENTLE OMG

Festival Animator Michael Woolley continues his reflections on this September's Visualeyez with Ray Fenwick's “How to talk to plants”:

Ray Fenwick is that human. He stands, hands clasped around the microphone he holds close to his mouth, staring at one of the houseplants sitting in front of him. The sound of his breath rushing over the microphone distorts and shudders through the space like indecisive gusts of wind. It is a wet and meaty sound, accentuated by other noises escaping his mouth: lips clapping together or tongue sliding around, along, and between his teeth and gums. Meanwhile, the microphone doesn’t register anything at all from his plant compatriots.

“Hello, I am a kind of meat, and I have feelings and sometimes I try to share those feelings.”

Still, the plants do not seem to care enough to respond.

Audio made for an event on May 3rd in Winnipeg called Bring Your Own Headphones (BYOH). BYOH is a performance series where the audience only hears the show via a headphone distribution system.

The whole thing is 26 minutes, and is comprised of a collage of new recorded performances, music and sound.

Thanks to Simon for the great event, and to Theo Sims, whose house I used as a studio while recording some of this stuff.

Only difference this time is that it was just…
