about

Night Vision is an experimental music work for voice ensemble. The source material comes from a large body of text written in a semi-conscious state during the night over a two-year period. Parts of the text were later developed as a script/score for several distinct iterations of the work – audio release, live performance, with a film/installation and publication in development.

Performed by an ensemble of singers and actors, Night Vision unfolds as a contemplative dynamic work that crosses territory between concert, theatre, and live art.

Over the album's seven tracks, as a fixed sound offering different from the live performance, spoken word excerpts unfold in chronological date order set within an atmospheric soundscape composed using ensemble improvisations and my own voice/studio recordings.
