My idea is to record my experience walking along the Horniman's Nature Trail. I would walk around the nature trail with the intention of focusing on internal experience of my movement. And I would weave this with recordings from my graphic scores that explore minerals and ventricles, the memory of somatic movement. I would create a new graphic score from this walk. Ideally if I find any objects around the trail (sticks, stones,) I would perform and record my graphic scores with those. Part of Goldsmiths "Sounds of the Gardens" at The Horniman Museum, London.

Part of Being Human Festival - and in partnership with Horniman Museum and Gardens, Goldsmiths "Sounds from the Gardens" and DIVAcontemporary / electricbackroom STUDIO
