004 per sonar (Tres Passings) x Bec Armstrong

Bringing you an exploration of wandering musings for Space Cast 004 is local artist per sonar. Visual response by Bec Armstrong.

Ed Wilks is an eminent composer and sound designer working with visual and sonic mediums and an expert curator of ambient and experimental sounds, so we knew he would be the perfect fit for this series. Ed first captured me with his outstanding Ambient Exploration Series, which have been the soundtrack to many walks, meditations and introspective moments for myself and I'm sure for many others. These mixes were originally live sets for a series of yoga classes which he later released onto SoundCloud as a ‘small sonic offering, intended to help ease some of the anxiety that was unfolding in our world’.

‘I’m drawn to music and sound which creates a sonic world or scene that evokes some feint memory or ineffable feeling. This mix is a rumination on texture and timbre, featuring pieces by artists and composers who inspire and inform my palette the most. It’s full of music to get lost to but that will reward a closer listen. Think— legs dangling off the end of a pier, deep orange sunset, warm breeze, waves, and no clear delineation between sky and sea.’

‘Thank you to Bec for such a beautiful project brief. This is the kind of music that engages the listener as a participant, where (mind)set and environment may colour each sonic event and vice versa. Where occasionally all senses come together, toward something resembling a peak experience.’
