Echoes of Mourning
For this project, I chose to create a video centred on my partner (DJ Mourn) and his music practice. The majority of the soundtrack was composed using a field audio recorder on the day of filming. ”I like to layer various natural, textural sounds to create rhythmic patterns that form a basis for tracks. These sounds can be manipulated and arranged in a way that brings organic depth to music that is hard to replicate with other methods. Combining these with subsonic and atmospheric ambient sounds allows me to shape deep and spacious soundscapes that feel natural and cohesive without being cluttered or overwhelming”. Because layering is an essential part of his process, I chose to mimic that by using multiple layers of footage stacked on top of another. My intention was to capture his essence while withholding certain details in order to maintain a sense of mystery.
